Amen. Welcome back.

Mah friend...where is my banana and groundnut you promise to buy for me?

Joime,

Be yourself, it is really not the end of time. There are fewer chances to loss but greater opportunities to win and be happy. He that is behind has nothing to gain in the future. Don't be down or depressed,just move on.


Another will come and your breast will come out full and forth.

Hardeyore:
When will the drugs leave my system? I used them 4 weeks ago. Isn't the half life supposed to be over by now?
Good morning.

Sure it is,madam. But the attempt is not by attaching your complaint to the drug used,it is only a mere exercise in assuming factors randomly.
I kindly refer you to a former post on this matter as to see how this clotting could be seen beyond medication effect.

Is this not the first time experiencing this clot?

BedLam:
I can't see how the toes were affected...

Can't you see how gangrenous the sole of that foot looked?

You won't understand until you are in a similar situation.

Even if you didn't see how the toes were affected,you could as well see reasons for it being that she had a Non-progressive Septic shock which could have come out deadly if not attended to fatal.

Ayauche:
Thank you Doctor for your prompt response. In fact was surprised myself. Will give her your number then. I really do appreciate and hope she gets the help needed.

Alright, good morning.

Hardeyore:
Good evening doc. I had an infection (candida albicans and proteus mirabilis) after my last period. I used pefloxacin orally and miconazole insert tablets. My new period started 8 days back, it's mostly very light and spotting and I just noticed big blood clots too. Please what can the problem be? Side effects of the antibiotics?

Yes! the antibiotics could stand as a factor but really may not also. Clots happens sometimes too where you could have less clot-breaking-factors in the blood. These factors necessarily have a role in loosing the menstrual fluid to ensure a proper flow. Another normal reason for clot could be as a result of increase uterine tissue breakdown during menstruation.

Apart from these, others could be abnormal such as those ones seen in fibroid,Pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, uterine cancer,dysfunctional uterine bleeding and what have you.

If this is coming from the use of medications, it will stop as soon as those drugs leave the system. It is okay,not really a problem. But should it continue and with other secondary pelvic problems,let's know.

Good morning.

Hello Doc,

Please I would like to know more about piles (not pregnancy induced) and natural delivery.
If you have had piles and given birth naturally, please share your experience.

Thanks.

I am interested in your telling me where you need education on. We are yet to know all about the human body but for the ones we have known has plenty of diversions as we begin talk in depth.

I haven't had pile as a man neither have I given birth before for the natural has halt me to. But,you want me to tell you stories of those that overcome that difficulties having pile and perhaps delivered naturally or separably of both.

Get me in private,ask me what you want to learn off. I shall mind my charges as an offset to see this through.

Good morning All.

Please share your family health conditions with a doctor. I wish everyone a great day.

Ugommma:
OK doc, thanks,but is there any reason the home pregnancy test was showing negative?

If she is pregnant subsequently the HPT will come out positive except in a case of Cryptic pregnancy.
But if she is not,what expect you?

Perhaps, she could be pregnant but her level of hCG produced by her corpus luteum still goes undetected in her urine probably because it might still be in minute concentration in blood or urine as the case may be. Or,she is carrying out the HPT in the wrong hour of the day.

But the underlying issue here is,if she is not pregnant she shouldn't be expecting BFP from HPT or clinic.

Ugommma:
Hello doc, morning, my senior sister is really panicking now, she and her husband have been trying to conceive for years now, I introduced her to ovulation app so she can track her ovulation because her period is pretty regular,ok from the app it showed that her April ovulation fell around 13-19, like she said she started having sex from 12-20 (sister dey Vex) � �, her period was supposed to come 29-4, it actually came but was just very light kinda brownish, it didn't even full a pad infact she just wore a pad to be safe, the second day, he was just few drops, the third day only when she wipe, now she did the home pregnancy test it came out negative, am really feeling for her cause she is frustrated now, please can she go ahead to do hospital urine test? She is scared of being disappointed again

If her cycle was pretty regular why was she having a high range of ovulation date?
It could have been simple and specific. The wide range could have been a miscalculation somewhere or probably from the app. However, she did well to have covered through the range.

She should try a beta-serum hCG test done in the clinic,it is not that early as a week has already past since her assumed ovulation date.

I wouldn't want to get her discouraged,but she should try get a narrow ovulation window to increase chances for pregnancy. And we have helpful measures to see her through that. Let me know what comes around.

Good morning.

Ayauche:
Hello Doc, a friend has not seen her period for 4years now, she says she has been using some herbs here and there. I told her to go to a hospital and get some test done, which she did. After the different kinds of test the doctor said she has entered menopause, that her case is rare to him, that he doesn't have the facilities for her case and all sort without prescribing anything or even referring her elsewhere.
Please sir what can she do? She's in her late twenties and not married. Is all hope lost? She's not a nairalander that's why am asking on her behalf. Will really appreciate ur response.
So sorry for the long post

She is in her late twenties and a doctor consummated her menopausal? A gynaecologist said that?

Well,she should have us discussed using a WhatsApp medium or a Facebook messenger. Though,I will make charges for such a service.


Good morning madam.

chibliss212:
hello my fellow nairalanders,
please I'll need your advice, for years now I feel worthless I've asked myself so many times "why are my still existing" I feel being alive is of no use. I don't know what to do and I'm scared of committing suicide.
I in need of advice please.

Let's have some discussion in the private,though charges are involved.

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A NEW BORN BABY TO BE ALLERGIC TO BREAST MILK?
.
.
I was chatting with a senior friend of mine yesterday, I was congratulating her on the arrival of her second grandson and when I asked how the baby is, she said the baby has been vomiting though doctors are attending to the baby. She called her gynecologist who told her that the baby could be ALLERGIC TO BREAST MILK so they should try giving the baby SOYA MILK and avoid BREAST MILK in the meantime for them to examine the baby properly.
Mehhhhhn, I was shocked because this is my first time of hearing such.
.
So dear nairalanders, is it possible? ? ?

Soya milk to a newborn child? Jeez!
And it is coming from a gynaecologist,my goodness!

My bro,a baby in a good sense is not allergic to his mother's milk. What that child is actually reacting to is just a or some component(s) making up that breast milk either from what the mother is eating or from medication. The diet of the nursing mother should be well screened and as well any medication,and if properly done the condition of discomfort leading to vomiting will stop. This doesn't put the infant apart as it could only be an excuse of breast milk allergic if the problem is stemming from an ill-health condition with the infant. So,child and mother should be well checked and examine.

You can make a research on
1. Lactose intolerance
2. Galactosemia

The mother should stop using Soya bean milk for that baby.

To those having their BFP,I formally give my prayer for you all to a full term till birth per vaginum.

Habbeyoluwa:

Thanks!

ijbeauty:
Thanks doc, but the only thing I experienced which isn't normal is a heavier flow after childbirth. My period became heavier. There wasn't any form of birth control pill, can't say about hormonal imbalance cos I'm perfectly okay , no nipple discharges after I weaned him, it completely stopped after few weeks. I can't tell my ovulation cycle because of inconsistency on my monthly period, some come in 30, 31, or 32 days.
What do you suggest I do, run a test or something?

You may kindly wait little,as your normal reproductive function may boom.
But after a pass of 2-3 cycles, seek to know whatever could have led to this subfertility by doing just hormone profiling of your reproductive hormone for a start.

I bid you goodwill.

HMZi:
Thanks... really useful information

Welcome

Doctors in the house, Pls help...

I have a son of 1yr and 4months, I exclusively breastfed him for 6 months, then weaned him totally when he's 1year and one month. I started seeing my period on the 7th month after his birth. I tried to conceive after I weaned him but it's been abortive, do I have a cause to worry. And what do you think could have slowed down my chances of conceiving. Please I look forward to your response sir/ma. God bless you all for the good works you've been doing.

Your son is a year and 4months,you did breastfeeding for 6month and as well did see your period at the 7months after his birth. You may have been wanting pregnancy for 9months to complete the age of your first son.

This period is enough for any woman to worry about not having a pregnancy in the due course. However, in place of that I perceptively adjure you not to bother much over it. The cause could be normal and in another sense could be abnormal.

Are you still having increase nipple discharges?
With an increase or fail in high of prolactin after your puerperum,circulating prolactin could stand as restrain to have proper functioning of hormones that regulate your hormones. This may be a cause.

Did you have a postpartum haemorrhage?
Women with postpartum haemorrhage then to suffer long before carrying another after ban erstwhile pregnancy. This is because of severe bleeding during c-section or during vagina birth that in one way or the other affected brain function and response to her reproduction.

Substances used during your puerperium?
Some of us could have use substances, or native medications that could in one way or the other affected the quick chances to carry pregnancy.

Using of Family planning methods?
Depending on the family planning you could have indulge upon,some family planning used soon after giving birth could become a factor to not carry pregnancy in the time most necessary.

Hormonal imbalance?
A change in your hormone serum distribution after birth can also stand as a factor too.

Do you know your ovulation date after pregnancy?
Inability to identify when you are ovulating just in every cycle after a 12-month break may also be an individual err,though not functional.

Hope this helps?

What is the importance attached to meeting Trump first?
Any special gift?

swtdarling:
Goodmorning Dr

I want to ask if its okay to BD 3 days after hsg as this falls on ovulation day.Thanks

It is okay.

Mofolam:
ok thank. What would you like know?

...on issue collecting on other aspect of your health apart from reproduction.

odogwubiafra:
Good morning fellow nairalanders and highly esteemed health professionals in the house. Please the scanned copy of a test result is that of my aunt's in the village. Based on the result and probably the prescription by the lab scientist, l sincerely need a more professional explanation and prescription for my aunt to prove to her that Nairaland rocks.

I already boasted that Nairaland is a family with professionals of unequal potentials even on Sundays they respond responsibly, though they can scatter yarn and yab for Africa.

I sincerely count on your priceless contributions and professional advice.

She is positive to the malarial parasite, though loads weren't given. She there would need some antimalarial medication,which has she been using before?

She could use any of these Artemether / Lumefantrine or Coartem

Since she is positive to Staphylococcus aureus though degree of load weren't written. She should have an intravenous dose of ERYTHROMYCIN LACTOBIONATE and continue 4days later with Amoxicillin. Added to it should be Paracetamol with some range of vitamins such as b6,c,b2 and A.

No taking of fruits such as orange or grape during treatment.

Don't let the fight to have pregnancy make you think the only system in your body is just the reproductive system,you have 10 more systems of equal importance to reproduction.

The way you guys indulge,am afraid some of you may meet some edge. Just be careful what you use and take.

HMZi:
When i come home on break i notice that i start having major mood swings,what do i do

You may really need to gauge the cause of your change in mood planes if it is happening too often. Some mood swings are normal and soon may petered within moments of resting. Why some could have resulted in the use of some substance,drugs or whatever,or completely gone off to psychology.

You may help yourself by:

1) Manage all office work/cases/problems/relationship properly before coming home so as to avoid put your mind of there being at home.

2) Go to the bathroom and take a good shower playing a nice song to your hearing. This will put your off mind from any disturbing phenomenon coming in with the swings.

3)Settle all home problems surrounding the mood swing. Could it a bill yet to attend to,could it be a fallout in the friendship between you and another you have allowed to soured overtime,could it some regret in some action you have involved in etc...

4)Sleeping is a good remedy for mood swings in both occasions of acting weird or wild from the swing. Just call yourself to mind rest should a mood change is getting your restless and fuzzy relating with anyone at its onset.

5) Jot how you feel during this period. You may put it as a poem. Also knit at its should be how you dealt over it. This will make happy soon with time.

6) Explain to loved ones and friends how you feel and such at that time should be helpful, or in any equivalent ensure that you are being left alone to allow you purge before getting yourself.

7) Maintain a good self feel, and see it as what can happen to anyone anytime.

8 ) Seek medical help should it is getting above home care.

Next problem!

This thread is meant to attend to home accidents and simple relative health common problems around the home.

Feel free to ask your questions.

Chili89:
welcome back!!!
I weaned my baby 5months ago but ever since then when I press my breast it brings out clear fluid or yellow. I hope it's not preventing me from conceiving because I started trying last month.

The level of prolactin in an adult female after pregnancy is usually not the same before parity. It may fall down but not to the level of nulliparity. This is the reason for what you have seen to observe.

And so,it shouldn't. However, come back to me again should within a gap of 3 months nothing happens with same line of complaint or in addition, others in association.
