Answered on 9th Sept '24
Sickle cell is a condition where your red blood cells are of the wrong shape that can easily block the blood flow of the blood and thus become painful. This phenomenon occurs in every part of the body. It can lead to fatigue as well. To heal, you are recommended to take warm baths, drink water, and rest. You should also talk to your doctor for more help.

My nephew is 4 months old. 2 months ago he went I'll . we had to take him blood transfusion immediately because the HB was dropped to 4 only . now the things happen again at the age of 4 months . we had to take him again blood transfusion. we did his Electrophoresis Report. here are the results HbA 55% HbA2 2.0% HbF 43% we want to know if there's any thelesmia or not or if HbA can be increase with age
Male | 4 months
An elevated level of HbF was what was observed and this is a common thing found in babies. Such results would indicate that a defect might be present in the body like beta-thalassemia at the beginning. However, these could also be seen in healthy infants. Increasing HbA levels naturally may follow his growing up. The main symptoms of anemia can cause fatigue or weakness, but it’s very important to take your child to a doctor and test for other reasons.

One person has a cut on his hand . It was bleeding. I ate food from his hand. If that person is hiv positive. Does it transfer to me??
Female | 48
HIV is primarily transferred through some body fluids like blood. If someone with a cut on their hand eats saliva-containing food, the saliva does not carry enough virus to infect you. Being cautious will make sure to see out for symptoms include flu-like illness and talk to your doctor if you are concerned.

Male | 20
Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

My WBC count 15000 how to normal
Male | 44
A White Blood Cell (WBC) count of 15000 could be an indication that your body is fighting an infection. Some of the usual symptoms are fever, tiredness, and body pains. Increases in WBC counts are due to infections, inflammation, and some of the drugs used to treat them. You should consult a hematologist for proper treatment.

I am loosing weight continuously and getting slim like anaemia patients skin is so dull and sagging and I feel dizzy sometimes, get tired easily can't sit longer because my blood cells stops working so I have to move every moment
Female | 23
Anemia results from a deficient number of healthy red blood cells in the bloodstream. Low red blood cells mean asthma, dizziness, and quick weight loss. Your skin can also become pale and saggy. More spreadsheets with foods high in iron such as spinach and beans are advisable. Your doctor can also give you iron pills to increase the number of red blood cells.

The blood test shows high levels of bad fat in the body. This fat can hurt the heart over time. To help the heart, eat good foods like fruits and veggies. Do exercise to stay fit. A hematologist may give medicine to lower the fat.

Bhcg level drop from 389 to 280 after 2 days
Female | 29
A rapid drop in bhCG levels, from 389 to 280 in just two days, can be concerning. It might indicate cramping, bleeding, or even a miscarriage. However, don't panic yet—additional tests are needed. Keep your doctor informed about any new symptoms, and they will guide you on the appropriate monitoring and next steps.

I had unprotected sex last in 2022, I did a hiv test last year October 2023 and tested negative,I wasn't exposed to any sexual activities,do I need to get tested again ?
Female | 26
If you had unprotected intimate relations in 2022 and your HIV test was negative in October 2023. You are not required to take another test as long as you haven't been risky since then. HIV symptoms sometimes show up late, so if you feel something out of the blue, like inexplicable weight loss or too many infections, then it's good to get tested again.

I. T. P. Prblm in one year
Male | 9
I.T.P. stands for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. This can occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks the blood platelets your body needs to stop the bleeding. Symptoms include easy bruising, tiny red dots on the skin, and gum bleeding. Treatment may include medications or, in more severe cases, procedures to increase the number of platelets. Don't forget to visit a hematologist for the right treatment.

I would like to have my blood test result be explained to me. Thank you
Female | 60
One of the crucial parts of your well-being is your capability to interpret blood analyses. Usually, these outcomes are the source of several pieces of information, among them vitamin amounts, the equilibrium of hormones, as well as signs of inflammation and infection. Disorders like chronic discomfort, tiredness, and weakness can be regarded as typical consequences of a certain hormonal imbalance. Discrepancies, on the other hand, might come from a wide range of reasons including poor nutrient intake through cardiology to some internal blockage. It’s the duty of the doctor to enumerate the results which patients require to be aware of and to advise them according to their particular situation.

But Then his health worsened and his blood count became high, after which the doctor administered blood transfusion.and say to continue imatinib . But now some time sometimes there is pain in hands and legs.abb mujhe kya karna chahiye ???
Female | 36
Undoubtedly, discomfort in the limbs (hands and legs) can be a typical occurrence amongst patients with persistent myeloid leukemia, a fact which must be acknowledged. Such pain, however, might also be there due to the medication or the disease itself. These signs of your disease, you should always tell your doctor about them, as they might need to adjust the treatment or give other means to relieve the pain. Communication is thus successful if your healthcare provider gets access to the symptoms and describes the best way he or she can help.

After delivery, I have anemia, low pressure, dizziness, weakness. It has been a year. I am taking iron and calcium tablets continuously. Nothing is happening. What to do now. Please advise.
Female | 22
You've been feeling exhausted, lightheaded, and nauseous after childbirth. These could be signs of anemia, which means your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. Even though you are on iron and calcium tablets, they may not be enough. It's important to have a blood test to see if you need a different type of iron or if something else is causing your symptoms.

Hello doctor I have a very challenging question here for you to help me with. Do you have to extend the duration of PEP for HIV prophylaxis to more days if the patient got another exposure on the 6th day while taking the regular 28 days dosage regimen. He had so far reached the 6th day of taking his PEP and got anothet exposure. So should we add more 6 days on top of the remaining 22 days. Thanks Laurence
Male | 26
If a person on HIV PEP experiences another exposure to the virus on the sixth day of treatment, it is of the utmost importance to consult a doctor. They will consider the situation at hand very carefully and consequently decide this case. Quite sometimes, they might find it adequate to prolong the treatment duration according to personal circumstances for optimal safety. Never forget that open and honest communication with your healthcare team is the crucial component of the best possible care.

Hello I’ve been taking 25 mg atenolol for the last few months for a fast heart rate. I currently have a hemorrhoid and I want to use preparation H to relieve it. Preparation H has 0.25% of phenyleprine in it I know that can raise blood pressure. Should I still take or is there an alternative I can try?
Female | 22
Phenylephrine can raise your blood pressure and it might be unsafe for the heart if one is on atenolol already. In case you have no idea, you can use other treatments for piles that lack this drug like say witch hazel pads alternatively try out nonprescription hydrocortisone creams too. With these substitutes in mind, there won’t be any need to worry about a thing because they will still help soothe them but without affecting or changing anything about how well the medicine works for your heart condition. Nevertheless, should there still be no relief from piles after using these methods then I would advise that you talk with a healthcare professional.

Female | 21
You can drink milk while taking lamivudine and zidovudine. These medications don't interact with milk. But milk may upset your stomach or cause diarrhea. If milk bothers you, try lactose-free milk or drink less. Stay hydrated while taking these meds. Drink other beverages if milk upsets you. Contact your doctor if you have bad stomach pain or vomiting.

Male | 31
If you saw red blood when you went to the toilet this morning, it might be due to hemorrhoids. These are engorged blood veins in the rectum or anus. Such signs are as follows: bloody stool, pain around the anus, and itching. It is suggested to increase water intake, include fiber in your diet, and avoid lifting heavy things during bowel movements.. In case the bleeding still occurs or if you have extreme pain, it is necessary to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist to diagnose the causes and find the proper treatment.

Is 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol is normal
Male | 37
When you have 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol, that is okay. Cholesterol is like fat in your blood. If your cholesterol is high, there are usually no signs. An unhealthy diet, not doing enough exercise, and a family history can cause this condition. To stay healthy with it being normal eat well and exercise regularly also if necessary take some drugs from the doctor.
