HBsAg (ECLIA) Test regarding suggestions
HBsAg (ECLIA) Test regarding suggestions
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood. This test is highly sensitive and specific and is the preferred method for the diagnosis of HBsAg infection. An electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) can also be used to detect HBsAg in the blood. This test is less sensitive than ELISA, but it is more specific, meaning it is less likely to give a false positive result.

Can a 47 years old woman get pregnant naturally after manopause?
Female | 47
No, a woman who has gone through menopause, defined as the absence of menstruation for 12 consecutive months, cannot get pregnant naturally. Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years, as the ovaries cease to release eggs (ovulate).
If you wish to conceive after menopause, you would generally require assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF with donor eggs or other specialized treatments.

Female | 20
Possibly you are suffering from a regularly occurring cold. Some of the common symptoms are runny nose, cold, and fever. Your exposure to viruses can bring this about. Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, and consume a well-balanced diet. Also, consider good hygiene so that the virus does not spread. If your symptoms are still not relieved, see a doctor.

If I accidentally swallowed cool lip pouch what would happen
Male | 38
Accidentally swallowing a cool lip pouch or similar small object is generally not a cause for major concern. Your body should naturally pass it through the digestive system.

My urea level is 40 is it normal or not
Female | 29
A normal range of urea reads 40 mg/dL, which is typically anywhere between 7 and 43 mg/dL. There is no such thing as a full representation of renal function with just one test. If you become alerted to your urea level or kidney function, see a nephrologist for the diagnosis and recommendation.

Mujhe 2 saal pahele vaccinated dog ne kata tha aur maine vaccination nhi karwaya tha toh kya mujhe koi problem ho sakti hai
Female | 16
If bitten by a dog, get medical attention right away. Rabies is an acute syndrome of fatality and cannot be treated after symptoms appear. The vaccine is very effective but only if it was given before the appearance of symptoms. If you have been bitten by a dog, contact an appropriate medical specialist as soon as possible.

Good Morning I am a male, 29years from Southwest Nigeria, I have some illness I have been noticed for a while and i need advice. I always love football before but for a while I leave that activity due to academic pursuit but anytime I tried it now I get tired easily as if I will faint and slump. And moreover I get cold easily and which doesn't allow me to breathe deep as I should, but I noticed that anytime I take hot water or use hot water to bath I felt relieved but I don't think I should be using hot water for the rest so I am seeking a proper consultation
Male | 29
Anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen, leading to fatigue, cold sensitivity, weakness, and shortness of breath. While hot water may temporarily improve circulation, it's not a long-term solution. I recommend seeing a doctor for a blood test to check your red blood cell levels. Anemia can be caused by factors like iron deficiency or illness, and treatment may involve dietary changes, iron supplements, or other medications, depending on the cause. Getting proper medical care is essential to address your symptoms.

I want to give paint killer to my son of 17yrs as an hour b4 he has taken paracetamol can I give him movera 15mg
Male | 17
Movera is a pain relieving medication. However, taking both medications close together might not be safe. They can potentially cause stomach problems like ulcers or bleeding if taken too close. It's better to wait a few hours before administering Movera. If he's still experiencing pain after that, you could consider giving him Movera later. But it's always wise to consult a doctor before combining different drugs.

Weakness due to mastrubating
Male | 24
Masturbation is not the cause of weakness. It is a form of regular and natural sexual encounter. However excessive masturbation could cause fatigue and other symptoms which might be related to mental health issues. If you are not feeling well, please contact your physician for an evaluation and treatment.

Male | 59
Sometimes when we catch a cold, it blocks our nose, and we lose our sense of smell. This is called "anosmia." Don’t worry—your sense of smell should return as you recover. Be patient, drink plenty of fluids, and get enough rest.

Doctor mujhe nind nhi aati hai rat bhar aur daily headache hota rahta hai mai kya karu doctor I am very tensed in my problem solve please suggest me
Female | 21
You seem to struggle with sleep, experiencing frequent headaches. Insufficient rest can trigger such headaches. The solution lies in relaxing before bedtime. Screens like phones and televisions should be avoided, and a soothing routine established. Ensure your room is dark and quiet. However, if the issue persists, seeking professional assistance is advisable.
