Pregnancy

One week after sex she says she is pregnant It was an unprotected sex but there was no ejaculation into her Are there chances that the pregnancy isnt by me because it sounded so soon to get pregnant a week after unprotected sex

Thank you Doc We had sex on the 20th of October but maybe from 23rd 24th or there about she expected to see her period called me on the 29th that she hasnt seen her period then on the 31st she calls to say she just did a PT test and the pregnancy came out positive I feel the PT should not be able to detect the pregnancy by now leaving me to believe that she had been pregnant before we had sex Whats your thought doc

Pregnancy

You and the lady need to discuss this and understand what is actually going on if she used a home kit to test for the pregnancy and she found it postive it is unlikely that the exposure she had on the said date was what led to it So my advice is for you to discuss with the lady and understand what is going on

Please doctor what are the drugs to use for uvular that is long and swelling please i need one

Hi the way you describe your uvula it might be uvulitis which at times is associated with any other throat infection like pharingitis Tab Erythromycin 500mg twice daily for one week has been proven to be of help but the best thing for you is to still see a doctor for proper examimation You can also get lozenges which might help relieve the discomfort Kindly note that you cant reply this message anonymously

Hi i am sorry to hear about your symptoms I can really feel how discomforting they are with what you wrote up there Please note that its best for you to see a dermatologist as fast as you can as prescribing any wrong thing for you now to use on your skin will distort the morphology of the lesions thereby making it harder for a specialist to diagnose when you eventually present there as things like steroid creams will do Kindly see a specialist in any teaching hospital around you who will help diagnose and treat THE CORRECT CONDITION it may be i am also glad they are not painful lesions which might be more discomforting All the best

Oh alright because there are people who usually do have menstrual irregularities usually for no explainable reason If it has happened before its reoccurrence isnt really out of place my advice is for you to watch it again till the next cycle is meant to begin if it doesnt return then you should go see a physician to examine you and run some tests to be sure of the reason behind it You can always come back to clarify whatever you are told by the doctor on this platform we will be glad to help you sift through it For that kindly as it as a news question when you want to make that clarification I hope you find this advice useful Thanks

Infections

Please i have been itching alot on my butt and my body for a while after i itch it gives me a rash then the area gets dark please am very worried what is it and what should i do please

Hellosorry to hear about the symptoms you are having there are many reasons you might be having the itching and rash one of them is scabies especially if you have same symptom at the back of your armelbow or in your groin if that is the case rubbing calamine lotion on the rashes and using Tab Loratidine 10mg twice daily for five days will help reduce the itching while permethrin cream might subside the rashes You also need to do some tests which will be used in ruling out other causes Also you need to ensure you have good clothing hygiene Kindly see a dermatologist if your symptom persist after using those

Hello doc Please have been having pains in my left tummyanytime i eati get filled up easily bt after going to the toilet or urinate i feel a lilttle relief also if i lie down with my chest facing the bed the pains comes up

Is it okay for my wife to take flagile for her running stomach at 7 months of pregnancywill taking flagile affect the baby

Hello Mr Emmanuel sorry to hear about your daughters complain Thats really a chronic cough with much discomfort To be honest viruses are the commonest cause of cough universally and antibiotics are just for any bacteria coinfection or when it is surely caused by a bacteria Now that you said she doesnt have fever there are limited number of possibilities Also most cough syrups are just to relieve throat discomfort and not cure the real cause of the cough The best thing is to take her to a hospital where proper examination will be done and further management will be given Note however that most of those viralcaused cough are self limiting But this is getting too prolonged

Hello Ive been feeling pains on my left testicle for over a year now The pain is now extended to the groin area of my body I also simultaneously feel pains on my left leg from my knee downwards and also on my left hand And sometimes also have headache on the left part of my head Let me just say i feel pains on the left part of my body anytime this testicular pain arises I had a test last year and the result says i have Bilateral Testicular Microlithasis with Mild Hydrocele Can you tell me what that means and the way forward

Testicular microlithiasis is usually detected by ultrasound scans and they are in most cases painless People with such conditions are advised to regularly self examine their testes and to do routine scans in order to ensure no further complications arise As for the hydrocele this is the accumulation of fluids around a testicle which makes the scrotum feel heavier This too is often painless and when pain is felt is it most likely more severe As for the next steps it will be in your best interest to get a full examination by a primary care doctor who will then refer you to a urologist for an individualized specialist treatment

Hi your inability to get pregnant now might not be certainly linked to the abortion you previously had not all sex will lead to pregnancy you might not be in your fertile period when you had sex there are other factors that may not let you get pregnant For us to be sure that there is a problem with getting pregnant you and your partner should have sex without condom at least 3 times a week for the next 6 months if you dont get pregnant after that then see a doctor for evaluation and some tests to ascertain the cause Thanks

Hello Doc am 23 years old am having issues with my flow The dates fluctuates i have not seen it for this month and am a bit disturbed i didnt have sex just a romance with my boyfriend but i had to get a pregnancy test from a store and it was negative but its still not out yet Please what do i do

Hi i can imagine the worry you are having I have noticed in some cases that the timing and regularity of the period varies and fluctuates in some people this could be due to different reasons but if this is how your menses have always been then there might not be much to worry about However since the test you did is negative i may advice that you go to a lab and do a blood based Pregnancy test to be double sure If its negative then just relax and wait for another month to see if the period will return i believe it will If it doesnt in the next 2 months kindly go see a doctor physically for evaluation Kindly note that you cant respond to this comment anonymously Thanks

Hello glad you reached out Normal is a ride range however in most cases missed periods of 3 months or less are usually not due to any particular problem if your normal periods resume subsequently If you have any difficulty with attempts to get pregnant I will suggest you see a doctor Also keep an eye out for the earlier stated factors that could affect your regular monthly flow Kindly note you cannot comment anonymously

Hello Please i want to know if excessive masturbation can cause infertility in men Have been married for 3months now yet my wife isnt pregnant I have mastubated for years but i have stopped since i got married and me and my wife have sex almost eveyday Another thing is that most times i have erectile disfunction but not all the time I have noticed it for a longtime now Thanks for your help

Hi sorry to hear this While all the cards are not in about the effects of chronic masturbation it is generally accepted that it could lead to a form of subfertility in men depending on how much masturbation had happened exactly there is also the accepted consequences of relative premature ejaculation as in most cases masturbation is done as quickly as possible to ensure relief rather than enjoy the process and some form of erectile dysfunction especially for porndriven masturbation due to a relative reduced reward from the brain for engaging in regular intercourse I think it will be a good idea to bring your woman up to date with your past if shes unaware

and probably work out a schedule of timed intercourse targeting her period of optimal fertility Following cessation many people make some recovery from these side effects and it is laudable youve made a decision to stop stick by it If however you still encounter some difficulties especially with erection and conception you might do well to visit a physician for further counselling Hope to hear some good news soon Stay good Kindly note you cannot respond to this message anonymously Please repost any further queries as a new message

Pls doctor my wife delivered a baby last month 6th of octoberand we had sex yesterday 27th of november while i mistankenly cum inside her and am scared she didnt get pregnant What can we quickly do to this

Hi the chances of your wife getting pregnant is very low breastfeeding is a known form of contraception women who are breastfeeding rarely do get pregnant If you are not assured you can visit a doctor to prescribe an emergency contraception for your wife studies show it isnt secreted in the breastmilk and wont have any adverse effects on your child Going forward it might be good for you to use a condom while having sex with her or talk to a family planning nurse about an appropriate method she can use to fully prevent pregnancy

Hi you most likely have been having recurrent urinary tract infection It is not necessarily connected with the sex you had 2 years ago you could also have gotten it from other sexual exposures you had Our advice will be for you to go see a doctor who will examine and send you for some tests on your urine These tests will let the doctor know which exact drugs will be most useful in your treatment We will also advice that you do your best to use a condom anytime you are having sex and reduce your sexual partners or stick with one partner Thanks Kindly note that you cant respond anonymously to this comment

Hello doctor my partner and I like to have sex without condoms but we dont want a baby yet until we get married soon so for now is there any drug you can advice she uses before sex to avoid getting pregnant Thanks

Hello Paul kindly visit a clinic with your partner to discuss the various options for family planning as there are various methods and the best option is usually chosen following a discussion and counselling session with the health worker Also please note that condoms do not only protect unwanted pregnancies but they also protect you and your partner from Sexually Transmitted Infections like HIV HPV syphillis etc
