Katier00:
my Daddy has been coughing and the doctors said it has to do with his blood pressure. Pls what is the cause and treatment to this. It is something that can be managed or should I be worried

How severe is the cough?
How long has this cough been?
Does it come with sputum?
Does it affect breathing pattern?
When does it normal occur?

Good evening all,
Hope,we are all doing good? It is obviously not an interest of mine in writing this but for my sake it is welcomed. I hopely pray that in this I get none of you spited.
I have been in the mention of most of you things pertaining to infamy,I have also respected myself in all that should be expected of anyone that have been with women too. My intention in this is/was to enable a congeniality between one settling a dispute and also not be hurt. In this I choose to have myself off from this room awhile and then plumbed in when it's rightly acceptable..This I did for all that is peace.

I have troubled none of you,I have since mind my constraint where it is necessarily needed. I have hated none. I don't think I have in anyway hurt anybody since my stay here,and I think if at all I have it requires a curse upon me. In all that I did I have always been opened and shredded. Yet in all my peace given,I have always got one of you wanting to tear down my reputation.

Regarding all that led to this on my side I think at least I have tried and when the dispute wasn't coming to any achievable limit,for peace to reign I left.
I am no human without flaws, I don't think it is anywhere right to keep brushing my ass even in a normal tide where normalcy reign. If I have in any post of mine made an error,maturity requires pointing me to the mistake or if it lies on you,make the correction( Tabitha).

Please let peace reign.

Why are you replying him
2ballz is not a medical doctor , he is still seeking admission. I don't know why he has not been banned on this platform

I have always explained myself out that the very post of which you all linked me to seeking admission was instead for someone and not me. Infact it is irritating to me at this evel to attaching me to finding an admission.

That post had been long gone lost in a futile cycle.
The mods know me very well (with respect to my former moniker) and if I have done anything worth embarrassing then I am worth having a ban.

You don't really have to drag Prettyjo into this,she knew when everything came up. However, instead of talking me down she just did a correction on the GRAM stain analysis I wrongly did.

Please,let peace reign.

prettyjo:
no please,it a a gram positive bacteria of the cocci family

Thank you. I often have the habit of not editing most of mine after a first writing.
Bear with me on this,much as you I have always regarded it as a GRAM + bacterium regarding other post of mine.

Thumbs up.

Isbae:
Yes I do

Though you experience ovulation, is it regular?
Age?
Any history of abortion?
Nipple discharges?
What sort of medications do you use before and now?
Is this delay familial?
Normal breast size for your age?
Normal size of clitoris for your age?
Do you experience any slight male characteristics although you still experience menstruation?
What other health complaint do you have apart from infertility?

Finally, instead of telling me of a doctor telling you that the series of test done was fine,don't you think it would have been better my having them reviewed, myself?

[I have carried out numerous culture . Still turned out with heavy growth of staphylococusquote author=2Ballz post=71807540]

How many cultures have you done to confirm this staphylococcal infection?

Good morning sir.
Please use my signature to reach me, let's talk.

Isbae:
i did HSG,pelvic scan,infection tests and hormonal profile but the doctor said all the test shows am fine.

Okay,do you experience ovulation?

xlanda:
sure. What medium?

gud moni doc, am o-, I put to bed 3weeks ago tru CS, I suppose to take rhogam injection but didn't take cos no money and moreover I'm nt having baby again, pls am I exposed to any risk and can I still take d shot whenever I av d money.tanx

If you had failed on using your Rho(D)GRAM 72hrs after exposure to significant defective blood components,then you really may have to see your doctor to tell you when to have the shot,and that should be when you have the money.
No significant risk but for the antibodies which may serve another another autoimmunity to the next baby.
Ensure to have it taken to prevent long stories.

Isbae:
I had a baby through cs which later died 5years ago, since then no pregnancy at all. I have done series of tests but nothing was found. Pls doctor what do you suggest. Thanks.

What were the series of test you did and their outcome?

Hello doctors in the house, please after flushing the tubes.. what next.. cause i had myomectomy early this year, then september.. flushing of tubes. Also, i noticed my cervical fluid isnt the same.. i have not noticed the healthy cervical fluids (JUST CREAMY AND NOT STRETCHY).... and have been battling infections back to back.. like all this fishy smell. PLEASE HELP!! I NEED YOU GUYS HELP PLEASE.

Good morning ma, the next best thing to do after flushing the tube is to allow yourself some rest and some few weeks more check again for its patency. This does not in anyway stop sexual intercourse provided you are okay with it.

A creamy vaginal discharge although a cycle may exhibit anovulation as the case may be. When have you been experiencing such discharges?
Causes to it may be hormonal or PID. You may need check with your doctor on how to help with overcoming this problem.
Fishy smell with the vaginal exudate may likely be infection due to Bacterial vaginosis or E coli,or Chlamydia trachomatis in case of PID.
Ensure to visit a medical laboratory centre to have your vaginal discharges and urethral swab to know the cause(s) of it. Follow sensitivity as due both in medications and duration.

Mojisolani, congrats! I am really happy for you. After one comes plenty...


Please kindly chat me up. Your number was stored in my phone memory after flashing it,I lost it. Please do message me when you see this post.
Thank you.

Please Mojisolani,may you kindly chat me up?

Alright. Thank you!

Putting the name doctor near this man's death is quite a pain for me. This is because his death was nothing but a personal negligence to calling for proper treatment.

Whether a doctor mistreat the life out of you or not,it is no excuse calling a pharmacist to stand in his stead.


Rubbish!

xlanda:
He thinks it could have been caused by an injury, though I can't recall such. He also assume the infection was a result of the stricture.

Can we discuss this off this place?

sholatech:
Thanks 2Ballz. What are recommended treatments/means to reduce high cholesterol?

Except there is confirmation to a high blood cholesterol being a cause to your high blood pressure or heart disease,it is not advisable to seek treatment to reduce it.
Treatment plans:

1. Diet:

i.) Ensure a reduction in food containing high cholesterol content. Example of such are most dairy products are milk,egg and others.

ii.) Less intake of fatty food may also reduce high blood cholesterol in the long run.

iii.) Vegetable diet can be of help too.

2. Exercise both for weight loss and reduction of the body fat.
3.Use of medications.

Hope this helps?

The cause to the narrowing of your urethral matters.
What did your doctor said was or perceived to be the cause of it?

But if it is brought about by just microbial activities own to E coli,then it is a little worry.

sholatech:
Does high cholesterol levels increase Blood pressure leasing to high BP?

Yes!

High cholesterol level gives room for arterial plaquing i.e. predispose to damping of cholesterol into the wall of the arteries. This will cause the arteries to hardened up and when the normal distensibility is overcome with time, a HBP may come up.

Whatever the result on analysis on a laboratory specimen seems to be,the clinician interpretation of it depends solely on its values. This in effect will affect choices on treatment and management on the cause for which subject has gone to the doctor for complaint.
A laboratory Analysis wrongly applied has oftentimes shown a fatal decimation in health management, disease control and prevention. This likely may have resulted from unchecked errors during Laboratory analysis to its specimens. Error-making is human-friendly as in trying to wipe out errors in completeness is time dystrophy. However, the act and art of sanitizing errors in some good percentage has prove better in managing all forms of disease.

What is an error?

An error is a deficit in judgement. It may also be a mistake in act and art that could result in changes from the norms. Act as in the practice( for example,improper shaking of anticoagulant testtube); Art,as in mode of practice (for example, going for an exercise before going to have your specimen taken).

Who are liable to make errors in Laboratory specimen analysis?

1. The subjects( the person to whom is to have his/her fluids examined or simply the one going to the lab)

2. The person who is to run the analysis. It could be the Chemical pathologist,or more usually the laboratory scientist.

How are errors made?

Errors are made:

1. Time before taking the specimen.
2. Time during taking the specimen
3. Time between taking the specimen and specimen analysis.

1. TIME BEFORE TAKING THE SPECIMEN(ERROR)

This kind of error is common and prevalent with the Subject. So if I am going to have a test done on me I should ensure to avoid these errors done on myself so as not to have the Doctor interpret it to affect me negatively.
Now,what are those errors you and I make before setting off for the lab? The common errors are;

I.) Eating before going to the lab.

Are you surprise? Yes! It is correctable error. Correctable error in the sense that we can actually avoid it. Why is eating before going to the lab an error?
At any moment between when you wake up and 8.00a.m,the body is usually at its functional state that has it hormones and enzymes at a common frame of reference. Eating food will have a choice of secreting higher than expected some enzymes and hormones. Therefore, this could serve as an error especially if you will be going for blood sugar,or insulin and many others.

ii.) Time

It is appropriate all test and analysis of body fluid and specimen be done at most 8.00 a.m in the body. Doing specimen above such time may lead to errors in analysis to reproductive hormones and as well as stress hormones and enzymes owing to digestion. Also,not noting changes in cycles in human species and as well age can lead to serious errors in fluid analysis.

iii.) Exercise.

Any form of exercise or stress is liable to cause changes in energy enzymes,stress hormones and others. This is another reason why core laboratory operators should kindly not entertain analysing specimen after long hours into the day. It is common to see that woman or that man coming to the lab by 12p.m to have his hormone checked or blood sugar. This will only lead to error.

iv.) The use of medications:

The use of some medications can alter result Analysis of specimen. It is not possible to go around all drugs regarding the scope set before us. However, before going for a laboratory run on your fluid it is on your side to tell the laboratory scientists the medications you are in.

There are other errors done although not common with subjects.

Now,errors own to the Chemical pathologist and laboratory scientists are:

2) Errors during taking of specimen
3)Errors between taking specimen and specimen analysis.

i.) Identity error:

This error is common with both the subjects and laboratory operators. The problem with identifying more than one subjects with same surname and second name. This problem is usually done before specimen or even after specimen collection. As a subject,it is expected of you to always identify yourself with more than a name. Give your surname,a middle name and a third name. It matters.

ii.) Wrong tube labelling:

This is also problem with identification. Identifying a tube with a wrong name niche with a test or a test with a wrong naming is a fatal error. Let all this be done and always alert the operator of any missing when spotted.

iii.) Using of wrong anticoagulant tube bottle:
Applying the wrong anticoagulant tube bottle in most cases can serve as a dicey error. For example, a subject complains of weak heart beat,lethargy and lassitude and a doctor ask for analysing covering plasma phosphate and potassium. If a wrong anticoagulant bottle was used,this may cause destruction of red blood cells and white blood cells leading to high blood potassium and phosphate which may really not be.

iv.) Posture:

Posturing duirng taking of specimen matters too. For all specimen to be taken,it is expected that the subjects should have a sit. Standing causes a plasma loss of almost blood constituent in some percentage. Always remind your laboratory chief of sitting whenever he wants to have venopuncture. It will help for a good result.

v.) Venopuncture:

When your laboratory chief need to have a blood smear especially from the cubital fossa. He will tie a cuff around the arm to prevent bleeding. But for some unforseen reason or attending to more than one station the cuff may be left for more than 1mins. This act can lead to serious error in many blood constituents and as well as some enzymes. So when that cuff is being long tied,you may remind your laboratory chief of not using that arm and even wait for some time before carrying a venopuncture on the other arm.

vi.) Handling of Blood testtube:

For some eventuality, subjects these days have had reasons to carry their blood specimen from one distance to the other. This itself can cause error in specimen analysis. With much shaking of Blood,Blood formed element can pass out quickly leading to high plasma range some elements and others.

There many other errors. However, these are the common few the scope of this post of mine can carry.



The purpose of this post is to make myself available to you as to know the test you want to do so as to have you guided accordingly. Please note,I am not a chemical pathologist and as well not laboratory scientists.

Ask me questions on that test you want to do and what to do to avoid errors.

You are free to ask:

1. What is high blood pressure, HBP or probably known as hypertension.

2.What are the risk factors to one having high blood pressure.

3. What are the cause of high blood pressure.

4. Congenital predisposition to high blood pressure.

5. How does other health conditions such as Diabetes mellitus,heart diseases,kidney diseases, liver diseases,adrenal gland disease and many more relates and correlate with high blood pressure or having hypertension.

6.normal ways or mechanisms the body use in balances the blood pressure and how failure in these pressure resetting measures can lead to high blood pressure.

7. Respective symptoms and complications of high blood pressure.

8.how does the high blood pressure affect the brain,heart,eye, and kidney.

9. How does having problems with your adrenal gland can lead to high blood pressure.

10. How to manage your high blood pressure (POCT)

11. How to manage your high blood pressure on clinical bases.

12. Medications for high blood pressure.

13. Others.


So,please the questions should be short and straight to the point. Thank you!

I am young guy of 23 I was sick a couple of months back(throbbing dull pain in my left testicle) and during that time I went to the hospital and after a testicular exam the doctor told me that i have varicoceles.
I want to know if there is an hospital in Nigeria capable of varicoceles operations and the cost...I was browsing through the net and I saw the cost of a varicoceles repair operation in an Israeli Hospital at 7million naira... please I need info concerning this

What is the degree of varicosity that it requires a repair?

Does the doctor actually put it that you need the varices repaired?

kannyluv:
hello Dr.on the month of September I noticed that my lower Abdomen was hard.I see a drop of blood in my pant.I can't hold back urine.whenever I am pressed, if I don't ease myself within a mint,I will pee on my body.... I became worried about the hardness of my lower Abdomen. I went to Abdominal/pelvic scan and it resulted I have Peptic ulcer and multiple subserosal fibroids at the anterior fundal wall of the uterus...it measure 8.6cm /7.2cm and 3.2cm/3.0cm....the Dr suggested I should go for surgery. some said i should not operate it......I am still single......I am confused... Please advice me on this.....save my life. thank you

Kannyluv,
It is really not a big one as worth a timely removal but for its location. Being that the uterus(womb) is located between the bladder(in front) and the rectal canal(backward),a fibroid mass situated at that location may cause up-down exertion that may be responsible for your inability to hold urine for the normal time. Size is relative to both structure and symptoms and complications. In this case the latter comes in. Thus, For the sake of comfortability,you are admonished to have it removed.
Do not also forget to have your peptic ulcer disease treated too. You may need to ask your doctor if both problems are happening separately or brought about by any condition you are yet to know of.

May God bless you as u look into my issue and profer a lasting solution. Thanks

How many cultures have you done to confirm this staphylococcal infection?

Rayfestray:
Good morning friends. Pls my friend is seriously suffering of a swollen pile, pls anybody with the cure should help. Thank u

What sort of help do you need?
No treatment is recommended until the grade of hemorrhoid is ascertain. This will go a long way for both treatment and management. The back way of subserving tradomedicals for proper management should also be avoided too.

For the now,
1) Practice sitz bathing to avoid cases with infection and swelling of the veins
2) Take watery diet or indulge in habit of drinking much water before and after eating
3) No laxatives
4) Eat biscuits,cereals and fiber-rich food
5)Avoid antispasmodic drugs
6)consume more of veg foods
7) seek tradomedical herb management for first degree pile.
Seek the help of the doctor as soon as possible.

I only need clarification on the herbal supplements(don't want to mention names) whether they cure or treat.
I have degenerative disc that causes severe pain which had made me become a regular patient of physiotherapist but the pain still occurs .i have taken pain reliver to the extent that some are not even effective for my system again. So I was advised to go for herbal supplements.
That's all

Sir, I will prefer you continue patiently with your physiotherapist. DDD ain't really that easy to walk off to mire with respect to the fact that your daily stress output is always a challenge to its management. Therefore, I think the need to continue with the therapy. You may discuss the option of surgery or Epidural Steroid injection with a specialist too,these have prove helpful for many with DDD.

As regarding herbal use,I have no info on it. You may check with any Herb clinic and massage houses for any help. Just ensure to play safe with your health and part less with your money.

Pls can u suggest supplements for a case of serious dizziness/ vertigo and serious balance problems.

I still can't understand why everyone is damn serious after supplements when they are yet to know the root cause of their problem.

If this condition has been on for a while now, why not meet a doctor for proper evaluation. Having it that on bringing the matter here it may have been lingering on for a while now. Help yourself! issue of this sort have widespread differentials as it pertains to stress,drug use(d),neuronal or/and as well as hormonal.

Please see your doctor.

hello Doc, please I need help ASAP
few weeks ago I discover some pains in my groin area and also around my testis which occurs whenever I'm Hot or have erection. also semen used to leak, sometimes when I urinate, I see some sperm as well.
also I don't maintain long erection and also suffering from premature ejaculation for a long time.
please I need drug to use to solve the problem starting from d pain I'm experiencing now and also my sexual life..
thanks

I prefer you do a urine MCS or a urethral swab to know the cause to the pain around your penile zone and then the groin. Examining the groin area or the scrotal sac may also be necessary.

Also important in line to discuss with your doc should be this issue of premature ejaculation,he may choose to know if it has been there before the pain. He may also discuss it down with you to know if it is familial,acquired or behavioral. Then comes the treatment and management.

fashionbabe:
pls pharmacist , what is the best supplement for fertility and infenction

There is no best supplement for infertility. Treatment is usually given in line to the cause of the infertility. You may have to make an appointment with the doctor to know the root cause to your not carrying pregnancy. This is better and cheaper than going the back door.

Also, it is not advisable to take treatment to any infection without any test done. You may have to do a test to know the cause of your infection and when this is done,some sensitivities will be written for it.

Fribery:
what is MRSA then.. if staph doesnt lead to infection.. what is impetigo.. please are you a doctor sef... all these textbook doctors..

First,what is infection?
An infection in simple sense means colonisation. This act of colonisation is primary to pathogenesis that comes from it. In other words we are all infected by normal resident floras of the body,we have them on our skin,mouth,anus,vagina,stomach,small intestines and what have you. A bacteria-human relationship is normal for most bacteria until something comes up to. Now,for example S. aureus and S. epidermidis are normal resident floras of the skin,conjunctiva, mouth,vagina etc. Their infection with human does not lead to a disease state until something comes up to alter the state of their relationship. For example this could be extreme use of antibiotics,or being a diabetes,or a fall in the body innate immunity or probably having this flora translocated where they shouldn't be. This will override the normal colonisation or primary state of infection into a secondary pathogenic one. Then, S. epidermidis and S. aureus that weren't causing normal disease state turn up problematic. Let me end here.
Also,from former post I don't think I wrote anywhere that S. aureus weren't disease forming bacterial species. They do. But as regarding the cause to infertility, they rarely are or don't at all.
