You may want to see a physician. He/she would do a physical examination, run some tests and arrive at a diagnosis.

Unintentional weight loss despite a good appetite may indicate a thyroid problem or a diabetic problem. D a thyroid assay and a fasting blood sugar test.

Make plans to see a physician as well.

ijinlove20:

Thank you Dr. But is the weight lost not connected with the previous mentioned infections?
And what are the remedy to this infections cos I have tried so many medications to no avail.

sisiafrika: I want to ask why malaria parasite test is mostly prescribed for pt. I think Africans have them in the blood, fever just set in if they are higher than normal. Just trying to be curious. Thanks

lomaxx:

You're right. Malaria is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and patients become symptomatic when the level of parasitemia is high in the blood. Despite these peculiarity, malaria cannot be diagnosed only with the symptoms. This is because the symptoms of malaria overlap with symptoms of a lot of other diseases so you have to do a laboratory test to be very sure what is producing the symptoms is malaria.

lomaxx:

Do an HIV test.

IJEOMA7512:

IJEOMA7512: pls can somebody explain this X-Ray for me? The uterine cavity opacified and appeared bulky but no filling defect seen. The right tube opacified and showed a lot of coiling and beading with possible scanty reflux of contrast into the pelvic cavity. The left tube did not opacify. Ozing of contrast from the isthmus of the left tube into the palvic cavity noted. wht is my chance of conception based on this result

Excelboi: I'm suffering from depression. Though I'm not thinking
suicidal, but I'm fed up with so much thinking. Mind is not
at rest, everything feel strange, I'm fighting it but it seems I
need support. I need help urgently.

Omomehn: Ok this is some serious stuff. I literally had sex
allniight about 6months ago. The next day i went
for football training and in the course of it, i felt a
sudden sharp pain around my waist. It was so bad
that i had 2 sit down immediately and later went
off the pitch. This pain has refused to subside
since then. What could be behind it? I think its
necessary i mention also that i was excessively
working out on daily basis doing sit ups and push
ups on bare floors. I could do sit ups 3 times
daily. Bt i ve quit working out out of fear. Please

Who did this HSG?

A radiologist?

I'll interprete it from what I've seen:





A HSG is a hysterosalpinogram which is an Xray of the uterus and fallopian tube. Normally a contrast is injected into the uterus from belowand if the tubes are open, it passes through them appearing opacified and spills into the peritoneal cavity and is seen on the film.

The report suggests that the inside of your uterus - referred to as the cavity is normal.

Right tube is opacified means that it may not be blocked. The scanty reflux back into the pelvic cavity means some of the contrast couldn't go through. However the beaded appearance is suggestive of tubal tuberculosis. However, some normal tubes appear beaded on HSG. A important information left out here is whether there was peritoneal spill or not.

Left tube is not opacified means dye didn't enter the tube suggesting that it may be blocked hence reflux back into the pelvic cavity at the isthmus. This may suggest an isthmal occlusion. It can also suggest a spasm in the isthmus region - meaning the tubes may be normal. Also, there's no information on peritoneal spill. So it's inconclusive.

Conclusion: Looks like your right tube is okay- except for a suspected tubal TB(which needs treatment). There's a suspicion of procedural tubal spasm on the left side- might be a blockage. Only a diagnostic laparoscopy can tell.

Only one tube is needed for conception. Discuss with your doctor about the your result. HSG is not always 100% accurate but from the report that's what it looks like. Good luck to you.

I developed small eczema spots all around my thoracic skin. I take my bath twice daily and wear clean clothes. I tried taking antibiotics but it keeps spreading. What could be the cause and cure?
