Answered on 19th July '24
After treatment for Bilharzia, feeling weak and losing appetite is common. Medicines used can cause these side effects. Weakness happens as the body fights infection. Drink lots of water and eat healthy foods, despite no appetite. If symptoms worsen or persist, inform your healthcare provider.

Male | 27
It is good that your ELISA test results at 42 days are negative, and your partner also tested negative at 22 days. Since you have protected sex, the risk of HIV transmission is very low. However, for your peace of mind, you should follow up with your doctor. Consulting a specialist in infectious diseases can help address your anxiety and provide further reassurance.

Bom dia. Tenho 23anos vivo em Moçambique. Tenho problemas de plaquetas muito baixas já aproximadamente a 1ano e meses, ainda não tenho diagnóstico certo, falou se de PTI e nesses últimos meses apresento sintomas. Oque posso fazer?
Fêmea | 23
You may be experiencing a condition known as Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, or ITP. This disease can lower your platelet, which is necessary for the coagulation process. The symptoms are easy bruising, bleeding of the gums, and pale skin. Important: See a hematologist for the proper diagnosis. Treatments include drugs or platelet transfusions.

I went to general check and blood test. I got CEA test level 8.16 I don't smoke or drink. Reason for it. Is it normal
Male | 55
CEA stands for Carcinoembryonic Antigen, a protein produced in the body, and the levels of it in the body may be high because of different causes such as inflammation or infection. Usual symptoms are unusual with a slight increase in CEA levels, but further tests and monitoring are also often necessary. It’s important to visit your healthcare provider to find out the exact reasons for your condition and the best ways to fight it.

I've been sick for months , my white blood cell and t cells are abnormal but primary not doing anything about it
Male | 51
Your blood tests showed weird white cells and T cells. Those cells fight germs. So weird counts may mean your immune system isn't working right. Being tired, sick often, and losing weight for no reason - those could be signs too. Visit a hematologist to get proper treatment.

Systematic increases in immature granulocytes Good morning, Firstly, I will mention that I suffer from numerous chronic inflammatory diseases, as this may be relevant. These include Ulcerative Proctitis; Atrophic Gastritis; Last year, I also underwent two cervical electrosurgery procedures due to advanced dysplasia (CIN3). (The last colposcopy and colonoscopy did not reveal any suspicious changes) For a year now, my blood morphology tests have been showing an elevated level of immature granulocytes: The latest test (May '24) showed: Immature granulocytes IG - 0.09 thousand/µl; Norm: 0-0.04 thousand/µl Immature granulocytes IG % - 1.00; Norm: 0-0.5% The rest of the blood morphology is normal, leukocytes in urine - within the norm. Previous results (April '23): Immature granulocytes IG - 0.05 thousand/µl; Norm: 0-0.04 thousand/µl Immature granulocytes IG % - 0.7; Norm: 0-0.5% (and a very slightly elevated MCV) Even older (January '23): Immature granulocytes IG - 0.04 thousand/µl; Norm: 0-0.04 thousand/µl Immature granulocytes IG % - 0.6; Norm: 0-0.5% (and a very slightly elevated MCV and basophils) There is a clear upward trend since last year. I initially thought this was due to extreme stress (CIN3, LLETZ etc). Now I am not so sure... Are these results very concerning and indicative of a cancerous process? Can chronic inflammatory states cause an increase in IG, or is it rather some kind of “acute” disease state? Could the fact that I rode a bike to the laboratory (medium and short-term physical effort) affect the increase in results? I would be very grateful for your response and advice. Best regards, J.
Female | 40
Raised levels of these are often linked to chronic inflammation similar to stress, in this case, it is important to control them initially. With the status of attempted diagnosis for specific inflammatory conditions, your previous experience, and the new procedures on the lookout for anything new, don't hesitate to let a doctor know. It would be helpful to get solid advice from your healthcare provider concerning your test results.

I have terrible hair fall and nose bleed followed by weight loss and weakness
Female | 16
There might be a few reasons for these issues. You could have a nutritional deficiency. Or it could be stress. Or maybe another health problem. To feel better, eat healthy foods. Reduce stress by resting more. But if this keeps happening, see a doctor soon.

Treatment may consist of symptom management such as taking supplements or drugs that stimulate the production of more red blood cells within the body.

The CBC test is a common way to check the parts of your blood. It looks at red blood cells. Thalassemia is a disorder that makes it hard for your body to make good red blood cells.

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.

It is most probable that you have Iron Deficiency Anemia. This is where your blood could be short of healthy red blood cells. Being a little anemic, tiredness, paleness, and shortness of breath may appear. Ingesting foods that are packed with iron such as spinach, meat, and beans can be of great help to this client. Another piece of advice may deal with more iron supplements, they will. Follow the suggestions given by the medical doctor to recover completely.

Female | 59
Your mom's high white blood cell count shows there could be an infection. After her hernia surgery, you'll want to tackle that. Doctors usually suggest a blood culture test to pinpoint the infection source. High WBC can bring fever, fatigue, and discomfort. Treating the infection should lower her WBC count.

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.

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.

Dexorange treats anemia, a condition caused by a lack of red blood cells, leading to tiredness and weakness. It is often due to low iron levels. Take Dexorange once or twice daily after meals, as directed on the label. Regular use helps your body absorb iron and manage anemia effectively.
