Could Nurse Transmit HIV or Hep B by Drawing Blood?
A nurse wiped the arm with alcohol and then touched the arm to check the nerve with bare hands and then injected the needle to collect blood. She didn't even sanitized her hand as I saw her drawing other patients blood. Could it transmit HIV or hep b?

The risk of HIV or Hepatitis B infection from the scenario you told me about is extremely low. HIV and Hepatitis B are primarily transmitted through the infection of the blood of the infected persons. The symptoms may include being feeble, jaundice, or flu-like symptoms.

Symptoms of ovarian failure after hysterectomy?
Female | 36
The symptoms of ovarian failure following a hysterectomy may include hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Menstrual patterns may change, and if ovaries were taken out, they will stop menstruating. Mood changes may include mood swings and irritability. Besides, low levels of estrogen may cause changes in libido. Ovarian failure can also impair bone health, which may influence bone density. If these manifestations occur, it is critical to seek the advice of your health care provider for proper assessment and intervention.

Abdominal pain with masses on the intestine can happen for the reasons above like a tumor or a growth. In your case, the doctor removed several tumors, which made the operation more complicated. It is important to put your trust in your doctor in such cases to improve your health. It may take time for the recovery to happen, but if you adhere to their post-operative care instructions, you will have the best results.

Hi, Can a Stem cell transplant cure HIV?
Stem cell therapy seems to have a very promising future. But trails are still on, in different parts of the world. As on today stem cell therapy is not approved by FDA for HIV. Still consult a HIV specialist. Refer this page - Hiv Counselling doctors in Mumbai, or that of any other city nearest to you.

Hi, I am 41 year old man, and I need to remove fat from my face as well as double chin. Looking for the surgery but off course with scissor. So what would be the easiest way to Remove it and how long does it takes?
Male | 41
According to me, it is liposuction. It can be done in 1-2 hrs. But please note, liposuction is only recommended if you want to remove small amounts of fats. Many people mistake it as a weight loss procedure. I suggest you to visit a doctor for proper examination. Based on that, it will be decided whether you eligible for liposuction or need some other procedure to remove fat from your face and double chin.

How to sit after hysterectomy?
Female | 43
After a hysterectomy, sitting is merely the time to facilitate your recovery. Do not proceed with the bend-over technique – use your legs to squat and rise. Pick sturdy chairs with high backs and armrests. Avoid the heavy lifting, forcing pain and take regular breaks. Talk to your doctor for customized recovery plan with particular recommendations as to the proper posture. Pay attention to your body and try focusing on gentle motions along with relaxation.

A hernia is when an organ comes out of a hole in the muscle, making a bump and hurting you. After the surgery, it frequently occurs. The recommendation is to consult your physician without delay. Your doctor might also propose surgery if the hernia is not corrected. Do not lift heavy stuff or strain your belly as it may worsen the hernia during this period.

Male | 27
Slight white discharge following fistula surgery is a common phenomenon. This may be due to the healing of the wound. Keep the area clean and dry. Change your dressing regularly as advised by your doctor. It is wise to inform your doctor at once if the discharge develops a foul smell or green color, or if you have a fever.

If you don’t want pregnancy, then you will first have to get your sonography done, to see for how many weeks you have been pregnant. Second, how to approach this issue also depends on the number of months for which you have been pregnant, and if it's in the range of medical termination then you will be prescribed pills for same. You can approach gynecologists - Gynecologists in Bangalore, let the clinicspots team know if your city is different, and I can be consulted as well. Take care.

To start with light household chores after a hysterectomy and avoid the strenuous activities. For the first weeks, do not lift anything more than 10 pounds to avoid putting stress on this area of surgery. Reintroduce activities such as cooking or light cleaning gradually, but never bend, stretch or lift heavy weight. If you feel uncomfortable or tired, listen to your body and rest. Generally, 6 to 8 weeks after the doctor’s recommendations a gradual return to normal activities is prescribed.
