Shame On SOME Medical Practitioners by makazona(op): 6:35am On Oct 05, 2016

I am pissed of right now. Because i ve met smart doctors and other medical practitioners.

But with this incident, i am almost giving on Nigeria's health system.

For almost a year now, my cousin has been having abdominal pains which has slimmed her down so much. She went to the nearest FMC in the south south. After all the tests and scan, the doctors/gynaecologists said it was an infection. Medicines were given. Fine. But after taking ALL the prescribed medicine, nothing changed.

She was taken to another big private hospital. After an examination by the Doctor, he (the Doc) concluded even without any test, that it was STD but since she took drugs from FMC, which obviously didnt work, this time a stronger one will be given through injection. That was done and medications followed religiously. After a week, the pain was BACK. Jesus.

Fast forward: Few weeks ago, they were told the best health care professionals are in the South West and she travelled to Osun state

After the hospital routines (registrations etc), a doctor asked her to do an xray outside hospital but when the xray result was done and brought to him, he rejected it saying it should have been done in the hospital. No prob. After obeying him again, he said nothing was found but she (my cousin) should see a gyna. this was also done. Gyna1 after several exams couldnt find anything (and was somehow lost). Gyna1 beckoned on another gyna (maybe more experienced). To her greatest surprise, Gyna2 angrily told her to go and come back in two weeks. He also directed that the patient he didnt examine, should be given antibiotics.

why all these confusion?

why are we having many cases of wrong diagnosis?

This is so disheartening biko.

if i can get help for her here, i will be glad cz she's almost frustrated o.

Sorry for the long story...

In a case of abdominal pains,some questions must be asked such as:the nature of the pain and the location..we must rule out a gastric ulcer which may cause weight loss,any vomitting,diarrhoea,fever,cough,yellowness of the eyes?..etc...an abdominal scan may help,but if it doesnt,we must also keep in mind a gastric tumor for which an endoscopy may be necessary

Re: Shame On SOME Medical Practitioners by makazona(op): 9:11am On Oct 05, 2016

@daniel1986. Thanks for your comment. The pain is down around her "pant line". i dont know if that is the area called Pelvic region sha. There are nothing like vomitting etc. she has her normal life. eats well, does her activities as usual but just the pain that slows her down in her chores.

Abdominal scan. i think they had one and the result : Normal echogenic anteverted uterus with central endometrial cavity echo; no gestational sac is seen.there is fluid in the.uterine cavity which is suggestive of inflammation in the uterine cavity( uteritiis).The ovaries and adnexa are normal. The Pouch of Douglas is clear. Conclusion: Uteritiis.

Point of correction, dude. I'm not lost! She has an inflammation, do you know what that is? I'm not desperate to sell anything. You sure don't know what Splina Liquid Chlorophyll or Shake Off Phyto Fiber does. Anything inflammation or cancer is caused by 2 things; absence of oxygen in tissues & too much acidity in the body. If her body was in an alkaline state, she won't have suffered the inflammation. Now, tell me, who is lost?

Sorry for the stress from your cousin illness. By way how old is she? Did the scan make any comment on the bladder? Does she have in addition lower abdominal swelling? I guess more info about her symptoms is needed.

YemiWrites, why i said are lost was because i talked more about pain not inflammation. I not really in the mood to exchangr banters here but to seek for help.

thanks

Re: Shame On SOME Medical Practitioners by makazona(op): 4:27pm On Oct 06, 2016

@blinzho69, she's around 27/28 years. No. the scan didnt say anything about the bladder.

There are no swellings around the lower abdomen.
Symptoms noticed: Lower abdominal pains, weakness of the body, minor fever, increase in appetite.

the pain doesnt allow her to do anything aside lying down

Can you explain this thing you wrote please I don't seem to understand you. Where did you get such theory from. Does hyperacidity and anoxia any relationship with inflammation or cancer?

Yes, it does because cancer cells can never survive in an alkaline environment & they thrive where there is no oxygen. Pls, make further research.

But the doctors concluded on an inflammation of the uterine walls. That's why I prescribed those for her.

I think some things don't add up in this scan report. The uterus cannot be normal (according to the report) and still contain endometrial cavity echo, unless if they meant normal in size.

Again inflammation of the uterine cavity is not the same as Uteritis (which is inflammation of the whole uterus), so I think the scan was done in a wrong place by a wrong person.

Then for your cousin, if you people decided to see a gynaecologist, you should also be patient with them to make the correct diagnosis. So I advise you people should be patient and get the best care, best of luck

You need to do another scan and see a gynacologist... If you go to a govt Hospital, you need to be a bit patient with them, Use the antibiotics like the doctors said and go back in two weeks, ignore the fact that the 2nd doctor was angry...
Has she done a HVS (High vaginal Swab) with MCS? This looks like a case of Pelvic Inflammatory disease.. it could be difficult to treat.. so look for a good Gynacologist and stick to that one... Don't go round consulting different doctors...

U need to give some further details

A pain around the location u described is mostly associated with the bladder.
It could also be from the uterus

Has this episode of pain been happening in the past?
Is there any associated difficulty in passing urine?
Are there any discharges?
Does she vomit or have episodes of fever?
Also, has she been seeing periods regularly?

U may not answer these questions here, but discuss along those lines with a private doctor.

U guys could try doing a urine microscopy and culture sensitivity, before choosing antibiotics

Answers to the questions above will determine how to investigate further.

I pray she gets well

@ChelseaDr, Thanks for your observations/advice. You also noticed what my concern which is the obvious confusion in the lab. The med lab scientist could have done better (a whole OAUTH!).

Another point you raised which is patience, is very well noted. Just that the pain nor sabi patience. And each time she goes down in pains, it moves everybody.
once again, thanks for your time. please keep following up.

This thing you are saying is pure jargon, different parts of the body with different ph level. What do you think your blood (Haemoglobin) does in the body? Any part of the body where there's no oxygen that part becomes necrotic. Cancer and inflammation has nothing to do with acid or oxygen. Do you know mosquito bites causes inflammation (pruiritic lesions) does it have any thing with acid (isn't your skin salty?).
My brother sell what you want to sell rather than coming here to say nonsense. Tell me the ph of the breast, cervix,prostate but yet cancer still thrive

@Coldplay007, you seem to know alot about the lab. Please when you say another scan, what exactly do you mean- is it redoing the one already done or another one (pls specify which type of test)

The HVS with MCS you opined, are they same with the urine microscopy and culture sensitivity Felixomor suggested.

Re: Shame On SOME Medical Practitioners by makazona(op): 10:37am On Oct 07, 2016

Thanks Felixomor for your thought provoking input. Your points are very well noted and will be discussed with a Gyna. Thanks alot.

I promise to post all the feedback here.

HVS involves MCS same as Urine MCS. They are 2 different tests together one with urine, the other with vaginal fluid

@nelszx

Any difference between the two?

Re: Shame On SOME Medical Practitioners by nelszx: 11:49am On Oct 07, 2016

@nelszx

The urine is from the urethra which can detect if it's a Urinary tract infection (UTI),cystitis or Urethritis while the HVS is from the vagina which could probably rule out case of vaginitis or PID ( pelvic inflammatory disease) but both are good test to rule out possible infections.

Hope you understand my plenty English?

Ultrasound scan.. HVS MCS.. Urine MCS is also a good idea.
