What does high HSV 1 IgG Type Spec mean?
I had some blood work done a week ago and it came back and it said something about HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec is high. what does that mean
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
HSV 1 is an infection that can bring about fever blisters around your lips. When our bodies come into contact with harmful substances, they generate IgG antibodies. High HSV 1 IgG levels may indicate you’ve had the virus in the past. Cold sores might develop in your mouth or lips. Sores are often painful and may take several days to heal.

Mistakenly mentioned wrong age on quadruple test, Is the result may be accurate or not. We seen two different between quadruple and ultrasound 1. Quadruple report is not good 2. Ultrasound report is good or normal Pls kindly help me
Female | 30
The wrong age sometimes leads to wrong test results. The quadruple test checks certain substances in a pregnant woman's blood, and one of the factors that count is age. If the ultrasound report is fine and everything looks normal, it is good. Inform your doctor about any errors to ensure that they have the right information.

It looks like there is a possibility that your message was misunderstood. In case you suffer from weird symptoms such as tiredness, pain, or discomfort that seems not normal, it may be due to stress, an unbalanced diet, or even infections. It's crucial to follow your body's signals and notice any changes. Therapy through lifestyle changes such as drinking enough water, eating a balanced diet, and doing some relaxation exercises can help you, rather easily. Nonetheless, if the symptoms persist or are worrying, I advise you to make a doctor's appointment and get a complete check-up.

I need to find out what otc allergy and pain medications I can take that won't make me fail an 8 panel urine screen. I'm going through an unfortunate situation and have to test twice a week. Thank you for your time.
Male | 44
Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

I am 21 years old, my weight is only 34 kg and I have also done all the tests, there is no such symptom came in reports , I want to increase my weight and breast increase, so please suggest me medicine.
Female | 21
You want to get fit. Being too thin can happen if your body uses up food fast or if you do not eat a lot. To gain weight, eat good stuff like fruits, veggies, grains, and protein. Do not skip meals. Eat often. As for breasts, they come in all shapes and sizes for each girl. Pills may not change them much.

Myself Rohan, I got vaccinated 20 days ago of anti rabies vaccine of 4 doses . Today I got scratch a little caused by a cat leading to bleed a little bit.. I need a clarification.. should i do again vaccinated. Thank you so much
Male | 21
If your vaccine is 20 days old if you accidentally hit a cat and it starts bleeding, there is no need to go through the vaccination process again. The vaccine that you took ought to have defended you from rabies. You have to clean the surface of the cut with soap and water, then apply a bandage on it and check if it is red, swollen, or has a hot sensation. If you experience any unexpected symptoms, make sure to call your doctor.

Hi, I would like some medical reports checked. How can it be attached here?
Male | 72
Getting medical reports tested in person is the best, hence it is good to discuss them with your health care provider. That said, if you wish to share more information, you can detail any symptoms you may be going through. For example, if you are tired, dizzy, or suffering from stomach pains such as appendicitis or sigmoid colon they've been and infection, austere or stiff deficiencies, or other conditions could be the reasons.

CRP/CBP/WIDAL. I had the test done. I want to know what's in the report
Male | 22
CRP stands for C-Reactive Protein. It is a test that checks for signs of inflammation in the body. If your CRP level is high, it means there is inflammation somewhere. CBP is a Complete Blood Picture. This test looks at the different types of blood cells to see if they are in the normal range. Widal is a test for typhoid fever. If the Widal test is positive, it could mean you have typhoid fever. Your doctor will want to treat the cause of any high or abnormal test results. They may give your medicine or other treatment.

After my blood test i feel weakness and a bit of numbness in my hand ..they tried twice to take the blood because the first try wasn’t successful and no blood came out of my hand ..is this a normal thing ??i am writing you after 40 hours from the blood test
Male | 28
You may feel weak and numb after giving blood. That's normal, especially if the process was tough. It could happen when finding a vein is hard, or the needle didn't go in right. Multiple tries with pressure can cause those effects. Take rest and drink water to recover. But if it persists, speak with the doctor who did the blood test.

Sir/Madam What's your view on DMIT test? Can I undergo through dmit test?
Female | 18
The Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT) uses fingerprint analysis to identify an individual’s strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and personality traits. It’s a safe and painless test aimed at recognizing personal strengths and preferences, rather than diagnosing medical conditions. While it can be insightful, DMIT is not a substitute for medical exams or treatments. If you’re interested and meet the necessary qualifications, you may consider taking the test, but keep in mind its purpose is for self-awareness, not medical evaluation.

I hot bitten by a puppy 1 month and 3 weeks old in my lips, it's been 1 day ago. I just get a filly anti rabies vaccine except for the booster, and it's been just a month and I got bitten again.
Female | 21
Young pups rarely have rabies. But watch for redness, swelling, or pain where it bit. Clean the area with soap and water. Put antibiotic cream on the bites. Keep them clean. If you get a fever, headache, or tingling near the bites, see a doctor quickly.

uses after food or before food L_ARGININE&PROANTHOCYANIDIN
Female | 20
In general, arginine and proanthocyanidins can usually be taken in the afternoon. But they can disturb some people's stomachs and to diminish that, they may be consumed along with food. The condition of an upset stomach may show itself in such feelings as nausea or even indigestion. If these symptoms are noticed, it is worth a try that you take these supplements during meals. Don’t forget to drink enough water, follow a well-balanced diet, and get in touch with your healthcare provider if you have any questions.

Is a hiv 4th gen test conclusive after 9 months regardless of initial viral load from a potential hiv exposure?
Male | 24
Even if the initial viral load was high, a 4th generation HIV test gives a very reliable result at 9 months post-exposure. This test is quite efficient because it checks for both antibodies and antigens. This is the way to be highly accurate at that point. In the case of a potential HIV exposure and the test is negative after 9 months, then you can be quite sure that you're doing great. Thus, there is no reason to fear.

I want period preponed tablet. Because we are having function.
Female | 33
Periods come on schedule each month, as usual. But sometimes their timing shifts due to stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Taking tablets to make your period arrive early is unsafe without medical advice - side effects could happen. Your body's natural cycle should run its course. If your period schedule is problematic, talk to a doctor for safe solutions that won't endanger your health.

It appears that you are facing symptoms such as fever, cold, and cough.

Female | 31
So, it looks like your test results show HPV Aptima Positive which is the test that indicates the presence of the virus HPV. Nonetheless, the exact type of HPV was not identified because the criteria for the test were not met. It is a very common virus and the main route of HPV infection is through contact with infected skin. Usually, the virus in the body will be eliminated without treatment.

Getting blood work for herpes can be tricky. It might take some time for the virus to show in your blood test results. That is why you should wait a few weeks before testing for herpes. Painful sores, itching, and flu-like symptoms can be signs of herpes. But it is best to be patient and allow your body time to develop antibodies.
