Is Syphilis Curable and Does It Affect Fertility?

I recently was diagnosed with syphilis and I'm got blood work done today to confirm whether I have it or not. But I think I have to because I have red marks on the back of my hands, a tiny bruise on my lip but nothing on my private area. It does hurt sometimes though. My question is, is this curable and if so, once cured am I able to create a baby with my future wife without any problems? Thank tou

Female | 27

Skin tags near the­ perineum are ge­nerally innocuous. They rese­mble small protrusions of skin. Friction and rubbing of the skin causes the­ir formation. At times, itchiness or blee­ding may occur if irritated. If they cause discomfort, a doctor can re­adily remove them safe­ly. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the­ area can prevent furthe­r development.

From last month I'm suffering with full hair fall the hair is falling from the tip and hair fall is very high

Female | 21

It seems as if you may be suffering from severe hair loss. It may as well have been caused by many factors like stress, hormonal changes or a disease. I would suggest visiting a dermatologist, who could examine your scalp and diagnose the reason for hair loss. They can then develop a customized treatment plan for you

I am suffering from hairfall aprix

Female | 34

Hair fall, or losing hair from your head, is a common issue. It can happen for several reasons such as stress, bad nutrition, hereditary factors, and hormonal changes. The signs of this include finding more hairs on your comb or pillow, or getting a receding hairline. To help, try managing stress, eating well-balanced meals rich in vitamins, and using gentle hair care products.

Can I use rosemary water for hair

Female | 13

The use of rosemary water for hair is quite beneficial. Rosemary shows the potential for increasing hair growth and stopping hair loss with its properties. It is a common method used to reduce dandruff and improve scalp health. Nevertheless, in case of any skin reaction or allergies, avoid it. Before applying it all over your scalp, it is crucial to try out a small area first.

I have been feeling pain in both of my breast especially armpits what could it be it ha happened for weeks now , I have no lumps

Female | 20

This type of pain, darling, can occasionally be a result of hormonal variations, like during your menstrual cycle. It could also be wearing too tight clothes or even a sign of muscle strain. In order to treat the pain, you can wear loose clothes, use warm compresses and gentle massage.

Hi, I had sclerotherapy done on Wednesday last week. My veins look a lot worse, they as re purple and more visible, there is no brusing and they are also quite sore to the touch/I can feel tiredness in my legs. My doctor said I may have had an allergic reaction to the therapy because I am on holiday in a hot country (Brazil) and prescribed me an antihistamine. Will the veins eventually fade or will I need more treatment?

Female | 28

Bruising and discomfort after sclerotherapy are natural which normally resolves within a few days. But since you said your veins look worse and are more visible after the procedure could indicate a complication. It's good that you have already spoken with your doctor, but still experiencing discomfort or have any concerns, follow up with them promptly. 

 

In some cases the veins may fade on their own over time, but if the issue is related to the sclerotherapy procedure, additional treatment can be needed. Its best to follow up with your doctor to discuss your options and determine the best treatment.
