Why is my groin lymph node swollen?
I'm a 20 year old male, with one swollen groin lymph node or so it feels that I've discovered about a month and a half ago, it was tender for about the first week but isn't anymore

When you have infections, the lymph nodes in your groin tend to swell up. It could be that there is a simple infection or in some rare cases, something more serious. Since it is now more than a month and there is no pain, this shows positive progress. It would be wise however to see a doctor if they do not go away or you experience any other symptoms.

I am 22 years old and having normal diet frequently .But i don't see my muscle mass is increasing. It's like khana kha raha hui par pata nhi kaha ja raha hai. (1)Can u suggest me better diet plan in terms of increasing my muscle density. (2) Can i take whey protein powder as form of daily protein intake without doing gym ?
Male | 22
To do this, eat foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans for protein. Also, have a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for your health in general. It is alright to take whey protein powder as a supplement, but it would be most effective if used with regular exercises that build muscles. Always keep in mind that working out is essential for muscle development!

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.

Male | 29
You feel worried about having HIV even with a negative test. Our bodies sometimes show symptoms like HIV without actually having it. Stress, infections, or other health issues can cause these symptoms. If you're concerned, talking to a doctor is wise to understand what's happening in your body better.

I have done health checkup for blood test ..need to know if everything is normal ..I feel fatigue sometimes
Male | 42
Looking tired sometimes can have so many different explanations. The results of your blood screening can show some hints. In case your iron level turns out to be low, your body will be susceptible to fatigue. Having a diet rich in spinach and beans can help increase your iron level. Deficiency of sleep can be a reason for tiredness, too. Regularize the habit of going to bed early and having quality sleep. If the blood test results show any problems, your doctor can find you the appropriate remedy.

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.

I have undertaken routine blood test today, and while all other aspects are fine, my lymphocytes percentage is 46.5. Is it ok
Male | 49
In case a lymphocyte percentage of 46.5 is a bit more than the normal one, which can occur, for example, in the case of taking drugs or infections and stress. To maintain fewer cells, take care of your health, lessen your stress, and allow enough time to sleep and exercise well. You can also have a detailed conversation with your health professional.

Female | 29
An ESR reading of 50 might mean there is some kind of inflammation in the body. Possible infections, autoimmune diseases, or even a few cancers can be the cause of this. Typical symptoms of inflammation include fever, fatigue, and aching of the body. To handle this, it is necessary to identify the main reason by doing other tests and talking to a doctor.

My cbc result was WBC 3.73 RBC 4.57 NEU 1.78
Female | 58
Your WBC count is slightly low at 3.73; RBC is normal at 4.57. NEU is also lower at 1.78. Low WBC suggests weaker immunity, making infections more likely. Have nutritious meals, ample sleep, stay hydrated. If unwell, see a doctor for examination and guidance.

Anemia can cause muscle weakness, hair loss, weight loss, and fatigue. To resolve these problems, you should drink plenty of water, eat iron-rich foods like spinach and beans, and rest enough. Talk to a urologist about the correct diagnosis and treatment.

My platelet count is 5.5 lakh so it is normal or not
Male | 17
A platelet count of 5.5 lakh is normal. These tiny cells help blood clot properly. Low platelets mean bruising easily, bleeding too much, and cuts won't stop bleeding. High platelets might signal infection, inflammation, or medical issues. So, regular check-ups with your doctor monitor those platelet levels. Your number looks good now. But definitely double-check with a doctor.

Male | 29
When you find some blood in mucus, it can indicate several ailments. Possible reasons could be a nosebleed, irritation by dry air, or an infection such as sinusitis. If you are facing a runny nose, pain in your face, or a sore throat, that could be a sign of an infection. Drinking a lot of water, using a humidifier, and visiting a doctor if it persists are the ways to go.
