Iron deficiency can cause you to have low energy, feel weak, and may lead to malfunctioning of the human body. This is due to the insufficient intake of iron-rich foods and blood loss. Aspyfer-Z syrup boosts iron levels in your body and contains iron, amino acids, B-group vitamins, and zinc. It can be done under the supervision of your father but ensure you get a follow-up guide from a doctor.

Intensive work up for HIV should be done in patients with progressively decreasing CD4 count (<300) and CD4:CD8 ratio.
Male | 13
Someone's CD4 count below 300 and off-kilter CD4:CD8 ratio signal immune woes, perhaps from HIV. HIV weakens immunity. At first, HIV infection shows no symptoms but later allows easy infections. Early testing and treatment promote health.

Hi my wife suffering with feaver and vormtings and legs pain.. yesterday blood test done..WBC below 3800 but she is looking very sick ...
Female | 24
Based on her symptoms—fever, vomiting, leg pain, and a low white blood cell count—she likely has an infection. This can cause significant discomfort. Antibiotics may help her immune system fight the infection. Make sure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest to recover faster.

I'm 21 years old women I've a question today i had a CBC 1 blood test and 3 days back i smoked cigarette will my doctor be able to make out by seeing my blood reports that i smoked ?
Female | 21
Cigarette smoking tends to impact the results of CBC blood tests but they don’t directly reveal it. By increasing your white blood cell count, smoking may indicate signs of inflammation or an infection to a physician. Tell truthfully about your smoking habits when asked by healthcare practitioners so that they can provide appropriate treatment for you.

Female | 32
You might be having the symptoms of a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. This can be a result of the nerve in your wrist being compressed, which in turn, leads to pain, swelling, and numbness in your hands. To help with the symptoms, you can try wearing a wrist splint at night, doing hand exercises, and taking breaks from activities that may worsen the pain. If the symptoms carry on for some time, it's best to seek further help from a hematologist.

Hello , im a 26 year old female. I have never been sexually active except for kissing someone. But how ever I can’t stop worrying that I may have contracted hiv , some how. A while ago i mistakenly sat on a damp blood stain in a car seat whilst wearing damp shorts on my way from the beach. I sat in it for about an hour 30 mins or so. Could that we a way one contracts hiv? Im going crazy because i have testing for work soon and im afraid if this affects my results.
Female | 26
HIV is primarily transmitted through specific bodily fluids during sexual activities, sharing needles, or from mother to child. Sitting on a damp blood stain does not pose a risk for HIV transmission, as the virus cannot survive long outside the body. Symptoms may include fatigue, fever, or swollen lymph nodes, but these vary. It's essential to focus on your well-being. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider reaching out to a hematologist for reassurance and to discuss any testing.

Female | 25
A hemoglobin level of 6 indicates severe anemia, which may lead to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Common causes include nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, or blood loss. It’s vital to address this condition through proper evaluation and treatment. Increasing iron-rich foods and supplements can help, but only under a doctor's supervision. I recommend consulting a hematologist for personalized guidance and treatment options tailored to your needs.

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.

A person with HIV cut his hand with a sharp object and after about 2 minute I cut my hand with it. Can I get HIV? it's just scratched with little blood?
Female | 34
A sharp object with blood from someone with HIV has a small chance of transmitting HIV if it cuts you. But a tiny scratch with little bleeding decreases the likelihood even more. The risk is extremely low! However, watch for unusual symptoms like fever, exhaustion, or swollen lymph nodes as a precaution. If anything seems off, reach out to a doctor without delay.

Im worried about my wbc since 2019 do i have cancer
Female | 31
It's understandable to feel concerned about your white blood cell counts. These cells play a crucial role in your immune system. Variations can occur due to infections, stress, or other benign conditions, rather than cancer. Common symptoms of concern include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and increased infections. However, these can also result from various non-cancerous health issues. I encourage you to discuss your worries with a hematologist who can provide tailored advice and may suggest blood tests for clarity.

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.

An Lymphocyte percentage of 16% might fall into the reference range depending further on several factors still.

The most frequent warning signs of HIV are long-lasting fatigue, unintentional weight loss, and frequent infections.

Platelet count is 149, I know 150 is normal. Is 149 cause many problems with body?
Male | 18
The platelet count of 149 reveals that the patient is near the normal range, hence no need to panic most of the time. However, reduced platelet levels will make it hard for blood to clot and result in easy, unexplained bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding gums. Conditions, as being subjected to particular medications, infections, or autoimmune diseases, can be the most presumed causes. To help increase platelet count, it is advisable to take a healthy diet with an abundance of fruits and vegetables as its main constituents. Contact your hematologist for additional information.
