Health / Re: Months After Abortion, I Still Don't Ovulate. Please Help by doctokwus: 3:36pm On Jan 02 |
Letitshine:A doctor or a quack? Tell me the doctor that can tell if a woman used abortion drugs or not for a miscarriage just by looking at the woman or even by examination and I will show u snow in Sahara. Did the person examine you?Did u do a scan that showed you were actually pregnant or you just assumed? Go and do a proper examination by a trained doctor,but be ready to pay for a professional service or you could visit a goverment General or tertiary hospital. You need to do proper tests,a hormonal profile test,ovulation test challenge,and a thorough physical examination including checking your privates to find out what the issue MIGHT be. It's unlikely that you did all the tests you claimed you did without any issue,had what you claim was a pregnancy you lost and yet unable to conceive again. Your story has holes in it or you are not doing some things properly. |

Babashifawu:Though it looks long,from 2020 to now,but what some Nigerians don't understand is that there are some ailments that relapse and would not totally resolve. These ailments are common with back issues because of the natural wear and tear the back bones,ligaments and muscles undergo. Some are age related,naturally and for these one may just need to be managing the condition with pain reliefs and other supportive care. Abroad,some people are on daily drugs for these conditions for donkey years if they don't want to undergo surgical intervention,which itself sometimes does not guarantee full success. You may need to take something stronger for the pain for a long period. The other option is to see an orthopaedic surgeon to see if there is a surgical option,if the condition persists. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: ‘I Was Exhausted, Diagnosed With Malaria,’ Akpabio Speaks On Slump Rumour by doctokwus: 10:48pm On Dec 15, 2023 |
Bobloco:Unless he made up the story (which is possible because Akpabio is a chronic liar),but if indeed a doctor diagnosed Akpabio with malaria over the phone,then those are the kinds of doctors that people use to generalise the average Nigerian doctor and make them look like poorly trained professionals. A big man for that matter,he called you and without telling him to go to the nearest facility or come to your clinic or even at worse go for basic blood tests,you concluded it's "malaria and stress". If something happens to Akpabio tomorrow,he would even be the first to castigate the same Nigerian doctor(again if true),that he/they were treating him for malaria down the years,not knowing he had a heart or metabolic abnormality,for example. |

ojobolinda:This is as simple as it can get na:you go for a post evacuation ultrasound scan. If all the products have been removed the scan will say so and it would mean it's just something you need to stop the bleed cause it's blood. If on the other hand there were still some products not removed that is causing the continued bleed,then you have to go for another evacuation,giving you an injection or drug to stop bleeding caused by incomplete evacuation is just papering over the cracks,asides putting your health in jeopardy. If bleeding doesn't stop you don't even need the hospital say so,you can do the scan yourself somewhere and take the result to the doctor. Waiting one week is as funny as it gets,unless what you feel is blood is not actually that. Besides,you ain't supposed to feel cramp like pain post D&C.Mild pain after,yes,but definitely not that debilitating stomach cramps. |

The doctor that also prescribed augmentin for you for a purported ear infection didn't do well. What level of ear infection has reached the one of prescribing an oral antibiotic,Augmentin for that matter,instead of an ear drop and maybe any of Amoxyl,Ampiclox or Erythromycin if he/she NEEDS to add an oral antibiotic.

OLAADEGBU:I used a practical,study sample,though rough:that if MouthAction is that much a contributor to oral cancer,then by extrapolation,the number of people that have oral cancer may not just be high but in pandemic proportions:at least 30%(being very conservative)of men between 16-45 who have sex indulge in MouthAction,there should this be a corresponding increase in cases reported. Use another rough study guide:visit the teaching or specialist Hospitals or get a rough form of their data if possible and see the percentage of cases that present that are diagnosed as oral cancers. |

Just because you have a white skin and bear the doctor title does not necessarily mean you are a competent doctor and is brilliant. Every scientist,not even necessarily a doctor should know and appreciate what is called a study;you use scientific facts or pathology of a disease and a facts based study to arrive at any theory. She used neither from her own study or any study from a medical or scientific journal,just based it on what she feels or maybe even just her dislike of MouthAction. That makes her a poor doctor because the science and study does not support any claim to such. Even using just ordinary study and conclusion thereof:if MouthAction has that high a risk for oral cancer,then there would not just be high number of cases but an epidemic of it. None are present. Conclusion:white skin,doctor title but a not so competent doctor. |
Health / Re: Please Help With The Name Of This Strange Fruit by doctokwus: 10:50pm On Nov 11, 2023 |
holysaint1:All fruits are good,but don't be deceived,there is none that can cure diabetes. Infact,there is no herb in the state it's taken that can cure diabetes. What your mum is claiming as benefit is the psychological belief in the efficacy of this fruit she is taking,it's not a factual relief or cure for her diabetes. The psychological efficacy comes from the belief some Nigerians have that once something is bitter,it cures diabetes,because they know diabetes is a disease of sugar (sweet substance),so it's cure to them should logically be a bitter substance,to neutralise the sugar,which is not true because it doesn't work that way. It's something like this that might have put Mr Ibu in the amputated limb state he is now, because then people too would have been telling him to be taking all kinds of fruits,herbs,and other concoctions,that they will cure his diabetes;he believed them,neglected his proven drugs or didn't even take any at all from the onset,till his leg became gangrenous necessitating it being amputated to save his life! If you want to disprove my assertion,take your mum to a lab to test her sugar level at least twice and see if it's now normal or has even gotten worse since she stopped her drugs and started taking this fruit. A word is enough for the wise and the internet they say,doesn't forget. |

Any and everybody should take this to not just any bank,but the central Bank of America,there is no SC in Nigeria that has the wherewithal and courage of judgement to overturn a declared presidential election in Nigeria. Even when the SC had eminent jurists,it couldn't do it,talkless of the set of recent years that are politically exposed,corrupt billionaires. To save face today,what the SC will do is cite some technical irrelevances to justify a judgement that will still keep Tinubu in power,assuming it doesn't embarass itself further by failing to do a simple 2+2=4 arithmetic. Once you allow INEC to declare a president,no matter how patently flawed the election and collation of results,the other parties have lost,even if one contender has a brother as a SC judge. The Nigerian SC setup does not and cannot deliver a judgement based solely on the facts of an election when there is already a sitting president able to sway them with billions at the whim or guarantee of lifelong favourable appointments for children or relations of the jurists. 2 Likes |

Effectively Tinubu has made Wike not just the governor,but chief accounting officer of FCT. How anyone can celebrate such absurdity and avenue for corruption beats me. |

press9jatv:Very correct. They shouldn't have even allowed her to take any food immediately until she gets well hydrated by IV route,"drip",then they start her on small meals b4 she gets back to eating fully.After prolonged fasting the body's digestive system needs time to adjust to solid meals again.Infact,due to lack of nutrition,the muscles that move food down the alimentary tract become also flabby and weak because they were also deprived of food.So if you now start taking solid food because of the amount of work it takes to move it down and digest it,it most times gets rejected or just passes straight down without any digestion taking place,so u see the person vomiting or stooling or both. But I doubt she actually did "dry fasting" for that length of time.Her corpse would have been what they found. Some of these people can either lie or exaggerate things because it's not possible that you don't see your coursemate/friend for a day or two without checking on them.So how come it was after a full month they checked on her?

I thought they said it's the injection the nurse gave that killed him. That before the nurse gave tetanus and maybe analgesic injection to someone that was probably in severe pains,near collapse if not already collapsed and with injuries over his body,she should have tested his blood group,genotype,blood level,sugar level and even allergic test to be sure he won't react to the drug. I maynot be 100% definitive about it,but my theory is that he was physically assaulted somewhere by someone or some people few days or even a day or that same day;that in the process he suffered a severe injury to one of his major blood vessels,probably the aorta,then suffered internal,undiagnosed bleeding from it.If it was the aorta it would have ruptured and death ensues within 24hours if not detected and surgically corrected.The injection given was just coincidental and the nurse an unfortunate victim of circumstances. But it too serves as a lesson because one may have been getting away with unprofessional practices for long,especially if not certified,but one unfortunate incident will just get you in trouble and it's then you come to realise you shouldn't have been giving treatment to someone outside of a hospital setting and only after examination by a duly certified professional. 1 Like |
Health / Re: Lady Bleeds To Death As Maitama General Hospital Refuses To Attend To Her by doctokwus: 12:28pm On Sep 30, 2023 |
A goverment hospital absolutely has no excuse for rejecting a patient,even an armed robber,no matter the circumstances. Even if the one tangible excuse is at play,lack of bed space,a doctor can still give first aid measures or even treat at the parking lot then refer. The reason private hospitals reject cases like this or demand for police report is because the hospital and even doctors would be harassed,intimidated,extorted or even arrested(yes,police arrest doctors in Nigeria for trying to save patients).Even relatives of patients in such cases that later die also cause mayhem in such private hospitals.So these PH run away from such cases to save themselves the police harassment or arrest,deceased relatives harassment,refusal to settle bill incurred,sometimes violence and mayhem,asides badmouthing such PHs,causing loss of clientele. But those in goverment facilities are immune from such illegal acts of the police,so they have leeway to do as much as they can.No one would come or intimidate,harass or arrest any medical professional in a goverment facility,no matter what was done because they accept they were doing their jobs and the outcome can sometimes be fatal 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jaybuoy:So it's the injection that killed him? The nurse will be in trouble simply because whatever she injected him with was not prescribed by a doctor,the professional statutory empowered by law to prescribe treatment. The fact also remains and I am 110% ready to stand by it,that the same nurse had had cause to treat him and his crew on several occasions in the past. Unfortunately for her,in this case, tragedy struck and thus,the unprofessional acts she had been performing in the past got caught up in a coincidental morbid period of the mohbad. I am sure the injection was not or at worse not the primary cause of his death. If you know how the average Nigerian that seeks home nurse care behaves and what the average nurse that goes to treat someone at home does,I am pretty sure she wouldn't have given beyond "drip",antibiotics injection and pain relief injections,and the tetanus injection some reports are saying she gave. She must have been treating him and others with the same cocktail down the years or months.None would kill a healthy human being..The only PROBABLE link I see between his death and injection is if she had administered PENTAZOCINE,at a point when mohbad was already going down hill from something else.Pentazocine is a very strong pain relief injection but is also known to depress one's respiration as a side effect of it's action.So if she had given him when he was already high or when his own breathing was already compromised from another incident or cause,then the pent injection the nurse gave would have just tripped him over to a prolonged,never to wake up sleep. 37 Likes 1 Share |
Health / Re: Can A Diabetic Foot Be Treated Or Best Amputated? by doctokwus: 12:00am On Sep 26, 2023 |
mistercharles:Yes there are 2 types. Just to simplify a bit,type 1 commoner in childhood,they need insulin cause their body right from young age not producing enough of it.Type 2 commoner from adult age.This type,they produce insulin,but the body is not utilising it well or its not adequate due to them being obese,poor dieting,etc. Now insulin is produced by the body in all humans,just the quantity or effective utilisation of it maybe what makes one diabetic or not.What it does is to ensure that the sugar we take in in form of carbohydrates in foods,sweets,beverages,cakes,soft drinks etc,is converted ultimately to energy that the body needs to function,so you can now understand that if insulin is not enough or doesn't work efficiently the sugars from the various sources I mentioned above,now present in our blood after being converted via digestion from the starting ingested carbohydrates,instead of being conveyed to energy that goes to the cells that gives us strength,energy to go about our duties,remains in the blood,as sugar,hence diabetes. Some describe the disease as a case of one starving(lack of energy) in the midst of plenty(sugars in the blood). That is what diabetes is all about. It has numerous complications when not managed or controlled affecting the limbs(gangrene for eg),the skin (sores heal poorly or don't even heal at all),the eyes (poor sight or blindness),the kidneys(kidney damage or even failure),brain function and other organs.It also co-exists sometimes with hypertension or complicates hypertension(high BP). So you can see how dangerous diabetes is. Just as a note,though many Nigerians still live with the notion:drinking mineral on it's own can NEVER cause diabetes in someone that is healthy and producing insulin as he/she should. Soft drinks and Only in excess becomes a problem with someone already tending to diabetes due to the insulin factor mentioned or in someone who is OBESE because in this case even though you are producing the converter insulin in amounts that should ordinarily be enough for your body,but because of the obesity that otherwise sufficient quantity now becomes no longer adequate,so you now trend to diabetes due to the obesity. So if you reduce your weight enough,that in itself would likely correct your diabetic state. I always tell people as an eg,that if soft drinks intake is the cause of diabetes,that half of Nigerians would be diabetic because we all grew up with liking and taking soft drinks the moment we took our first taste as kids! 1 Like |

Depends on how far the gangrene has gone and if it's determined the diabetes cannot or is getting difficult to control. Once it's determined to be gangrene,amputation is the best course of action to save the patient's life because you are looking at essentially a dead foot,toe or even leg still being harboured by the body. The "deadness" would continue spreading because it's caused by toxins that have essentially eaten up the flesh.They rapidly multiply and look for other healthy parts to continue guzzling up till they basically shut down the person's entire system. But of course,a doctor can only advice a patient on what he/she considers the best course of action to preserve life first and health as best as possible.The decision cannot be forced or imposed on the person so long he/she has been made aware of possible outcomes of refusing a course of management. Wishing your friend the best but still tell him the risk to his life,unless it's not gangrene. 111 Likes 10 Shares |

It's time for the SE to join hands with the authorities to fish out and destroy these criminals wherever they are hiding. In the course of this fight,the military , police and other security operatives must go the extra mile to ensure they don't harm or kill innocent kills.

ibinaboonline:First and foremost,has he gone to a proper hospital and met a proper doctor? From the bolded,he is clearly heading to what is called heart failure or his heart is having issues.That feeling very tired on mounting a flight of steps is one of the symptoms.He may also have underlying health issues in addition to that. If he has met a proper doctor,at least by the time he comes complaining that the first course of treatment didn't help,he should have been sent for scans to check the chest and look at the heart and also blood tests. Even treating someone that presents at first with what you suspect is pneumonia without sending for at least chest x-ray is bad practice,but let's even excuse that. I can bet anything,if you ask him,that part of the so called injections he got were for treatment for malaria and typhoid because every Nigerian patient that presents to a hospital that is not a surgical case,is always malaria and typhoid treatment first and when they go to another hospital or even same hospital,they treat again for it or tell them the malaria has either returned or is stronger than the first set of drugs given,so they need another set of drugs or they now need "drip". Your neighbour is dying from something more serious and needs to bring out money to go to a hospital and request to be evaluated properly with series of tests,if not his name is sorry.

Military action to restore democratic, civilian rule in Niger Republic is a commendable and bold step by Baba blublu. He should be praised if he carries it through. If these coupists are allowed to hold unto power in Niger then by next year another West African country will be next till these coupists take the entire west Africa back to the dark ages of the military. Yes,many civilian governments in black Africa have not delivered dividends of democracy,but the idea that a small set of military guys have all the answers,can develop a nation and reserve the right to seize power and relinquish it at anytime of their chosen without power being vested through an electoral process,is anachronistic and foolish and would rather stifle than develop west Africa. What the military can do is ensure that democratic processes are free,fair and credible and if this is done years down the line,leadership would become accountable and meaningful to the electorate and general populace. Yes to restoration of civilian rule by any means necessary. Ironically,if the military intervention by Nigeria succeeds,it would even further guarantee that our nationals living there are treated with high regards. 2 Likes |
