Hello doc. Please I really need serious help about my cholesterol level based on the test carried out
Totasl cholesterol. 234mg/dl. (100-200)mg/dl
The lab/ doc said it was high and I was asked to buy Codliver oil (omega) and B-complex
But I need your advice on the best fruit and medication to take because the cholesterol level is aways high any time I went for check up even after taken pils.
Thanks sir very Urgent

You have what is known as 'familial hypercholesterolaemia'. It's a kind of hereditary condition. It explains why the cholesterol level appears high anytime you have it checked.

You can manage the condition by exercising regularly. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Get vitamin B supplement. Mind your lifestyle. If you smoke or drink, you may have to quit. Always have your blood cholesterol level monitored.

Hello Doc, I have a mensural cycle of 33days and it's been regular, I was xpecting it on the 24th of this month yet it did not come, went for a pregnancy test it came out negative yet I have sore breast and bloating. pls help av been trying to conceive for some time.

Get a PT strip and run a home test. Use early morning urine to run the test. If it doesn't show two red lines, then it's a confirmation you're not pregnant.

High physical or mental stress level may just be the factor responsible for your menstrual delay. Perhaps, there was a medication you took that may have disrupted your hormone balance.

Xtiana250:
Hello doc,pls can u help me and interprete my test result.it states here ;progesterone 14.2(2.5-32)mmol/L. Prolactin 27(8.3-20)ng/ml.

tnk u doc. I went 4 d scan n d man said he thinks im showing signs of early pregnancy bt dat he wasnt sure. So he asked me to go for anoda blood pt and also a trans vaginal scan. He said d TVS was going to confirm it. D blood pt came out negative. Wen he carried out d TVS, he said my womb was empty. And dat dia is nothing in it 4 now. That was on d 21st. Today is the 46th day of my menstrual cycle. No period yet. Do i need to run another pt? Ive been having some pain in my abdomen. Thank u. Merry christmas.

I don't think it's pregnancy. It's actually amenorrhea. Your amenorrhea is due to hormonal imbalance. The postinor must have disrupted your hormones. If you wld have to run an investigation, hormonal assay is the right investigation to run, with pelvic scan(to check the POD, cos PID may also be responsible for ur amenorrhea).

Pls where can nuchal translucency scan be done in Anambra, Enugu state or Asaba

Try N.S.C in Enugu. It's somewhere around Agbani road, in Enugu.

So you don't have friends or what? She brings her friends, you invite urs as well. They'll help you keep them company, and later take them out of the house when u're ready to carry out VE on ur girl.

How old are you by the way?

Are you in basic 4? Or you're just acting Aki & Pawpaw?

Not until you've lost her, you didn't value her.

So what's the assurance you wldn't reject her again if she came back to you?!

Well, the stone that was rejected by a bricklayer, has become a chief cornerstone to Julius Berger.

Merry Christmas to all my darlings.

Merry christmas cupcake.

thanks, is it same as hvs m/c/s

Somehow the same, just that sample is taken from the cervix area.

They deserve it.

Is frozen chicken not banned?

Actually, it's llegally imported chicken that was banned. Some poultry in Nigeria also rear chickens in commercial scale and process it into frozen chicken. The OP never said the truck was transporting imported chicken.

Justice should take its course

Granted bail on self recognition? So that shld imply when they catch Abubakar Shekau, he'd also be granted bail on self recognition, cos every nigerian knows him.

If it was a cow that wandered off to his farm, I'm sure he'll be begging the cow to please leave his farm cos of fulani herdsmen.

From snake killing to harmless antelope killing. This has to stop!

Hello,

I am about 8 wks pregnant. Apart from the usual nausea, i keep having stomach upset and i am basically grounded. Cant do too much around the house or at work, cant eat well and just generaly unweĺl. I am currently on promethazine and paracetamol but its not doing much for me. What can i do?

There's nothing more you can do than endure the discomforts. It's just aggravated pregnancy symptoms, most common in primigravida. I'm sure it's your first pregnancy. Just be strong, the discomforts would abate sooner.

And please, discontinue the use of paracetamol. It's contra-indicated in pregnancy. Keep in touch with your gynae.

That's a piglet, not an adult pig. Whoever took the picture staged the humping.

olamitie:
thanks for your response, heart beat was detected in the first and third pregnancy before i miscarried so i dnt tink it anembroynic gestation, i was given progesterone shot in the 3rd pregnancy but still miscarried early, how do i check for bacterial infection?

Run endocervical swab m/c/s

olaronkecristian:
Reference to the complaint above

Well, I can't really say if the embryo was affected by the antibiotic and "gbogbonishe" you took, but I think it's less likely it did, since the pregnancy is stil running.

I'll advise you run a fetal ultrasound at week 8.

Also, heavy staph infection may pose as a threat to the pregnancy. Keep your doctor informed in time on any development.

Gud day Doc, here is Dh's latest Sfa result, plz help torchlight it.Thanks.

His challenge lies in motility. Seems most of his sperm cells are immotile, with half been dead.

He needs to improve the quality of his sperm.

Please have had three miscarriages in a row, all in first trimester, please what are the necessary test i need to check what is wrong? Dnt want to do any unneccesary one cos of financial constraint,im just a teacher.my blood group is O+ thnks

Check for bacterial infection. Run a progesterone assay. Run a pelvic scan.

Possible causes of your miscarriages are low progesterone to sustain the pregnancy.

A threat from a standing or lingering infection cld lead to miscarriage.

Anembryonic gestation is also a possible cause. So your partner shld also run a seminal analysis to check the quality of his sperm, since poor seemen quality cld lead to this.

Some years back, my lady was having an issue with her phone, I gave her a spare phone. Some weeks later, she was careless to let the phone drop in a bath tub, the phone cldnt power anymore. She later bought a new fone, so I asked her to bring the faulty phone so I cld give it to a phone technician for repair. But with the computer hardware training I got in computer school, I was able to fix the phone myslf, and it powered. After the phone booted, I went thru it, and what I saw on the BBM eh! Asin, my BP rose to 530/240mmHg.

So, if you don't want to develop Cadio-Vascular Disease, I'll advise you steer clear of ur partner's phone, so ur days may be long!

Laralabelle.... Ur report indicates all is well.

goodevening doc, pls i saw my period on 12-15th nov; i had unprotected sex on 17th, took postinor2 on 18th and d last pill on 19th by 3:30am. Saw my period again on 23-26th nov. A friend said dat only happens when youre pregnant. So i went for two blood pregnancy tests. One on 2nd dec, the other on 11th dec, both came out negative. Is there a chance dat i myt still be pregnant? Do i have to go for a scan? When do u tink i should expect my period PS: my periods are irregular, last menstrual cycle was 41days. Dont know what to do... Im so freaked out ...... Thanks doc

Do you know what postinor is? I can sense you don't. Postinor is an emergency oral contraceptive pill. You don't take it like you take your antimalarial drug for prophylaxis. Postinor is an emergency pill. You're meant to take it when the situation you find urslf in having sex is beyond ur control. But from the complaint, I can tell you take this pill regularly after sex. I may be wrong tho. But you just have to be careful how you take this pill. It has some short and long terms adverse effects. Postinor works by inhibiting the secretion of progestational hormones, thus preventing implantation. It ends up imbalancing the hormones, leading to menstrual irregularities.

You had sex on the 17th of nov, 5days after the start of your period. Pregnancy was unlikely cos you were in ur safe period, except in a Short Menstrual Cycle of 21days, or as you mentioned, irregular periods where spotting or vaginal bleeding may be misconstrued for menstrual periods and you lose chart of the actual safe and unsafe periods.

You're not pregnant. You may run the scan if you wish to, though it's not necessary. I'll also advise you visit a gynae at the nearest hospital for review.

He has never gone for any fertility check.

I'll advise he runs a seminal analysis test.

iamhistreasure:
Thank you doctor, please can a woman be diagnosed of pcos and low ovarian reserve at same time

Yes of course. Hormonal profiling and AMH assay are the diagnostic tests carried out.
