Answered on 14th June '24
According to your test results, your hemoglobin level is low, which can cause symptoms like feeling tired and weak. The high ESR number could mean that your body is inflamed. From simple ones, such as anemia, to complex ones, such as infection-are sorts of them. If you want to take your hemoglobin to the right levels, you may have to take in more iron-rich foods by way of diet. Plus, do not forget that the root cause of inflammation is there and lower your ESR count. To improve your hemoglobin, you may need to eat more iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause of inflammation can help lower your ESR level.

I am having swollen lymph nodes in my neck since two years I have done fnac and biopsy both comes with result reactive lyphadenopathy....is it Cancer????
Female | 23
Reactive lymphadenopathy means the lymph nodes are responding to something which is not necessarily cancer. This can be caused by infections such as colds. Skin conditions can also cause them. Your doctor might want to keep an eye on them for a while or do more tests to be sure. Changes are always best recorded and communicated with a healthcare provider.

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
Male | 20
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.

Looking at the symptoms you've given, you are likely going through a urinary tract infection (UTI) and anemia. If you have a UTI, you may experience mild fever and body pain. 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.

Stem cell transplant for sickling
Female | 13
When red blood cells change shape and get stuck in the body, sickling occurs, which causes pain and infections. It is due to an error in your genetic makeup that you were born with. By providing new cells that create healthy blood, a stem cell transplant may correct this. Eventually, such a therapy could lower the frequency of sickling and improve overall well-being.

I. T. P. Prblm in one year
Male | 9
I.T.P. stands for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. This can occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks the blood platelets your body needs to stop the bleeding. Symptoms include easy bruising, tiny red dots on the skin, and gum bleeding. Treatment may include medications or, in more severe cases, procedures to increase the number of platelets. Don't forget to visit a hematologist for the right treatment.

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.

Is 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol is normal
Male | 37
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.

I had a sex contact and took Hive test on 25th Jan. Non-reactive (Feb-2) Next test (Feb-28) and LIST test (May-02) Non-reactive - now should I test?
Male | 32
A "non-reactive" result indicates that the test did not detect HIV antibodies or antigens in your blood at the time of testing. And you have consistently received non-reactive results over a span of a few months. However, for definitive advice regarding testing intervals and your specific situation, it's essential to consult a professional who specializes in sexual health or infectious disease

I had an I pill last month and my blood tests today are High platelet counts Wbc count -7.95 Gran %-76.5 Platelets -141 PDW-SD-19.7 What does this mean
Female | 19
Your blood test shows some changes. A high platelet level might indicate swelling or infection. With a WBC count of 7.95, your body's defense system is active. The Gran% tells about certain white blood cells, which increase when there's an infection. Your platelet count of 141 is normal, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. It seems your body might be fighting off an illness, so it's wise to discuss these results with your doctor for further advice.

Hello doctor I have a very challenging question here for you to help me with. Do you have to extend the duration of PEP for HIV prophylaxis to more days if the patient got another exposure on the 6th day while taking the regular 28 days dosage regimen. He had so far reached the 6th day of taking his PEP and got anothet exposure. So should we add more 6 days on top of the remaining 22 days. Thanks Laurence
Male | 26
If a person on HIV PEP experiences another exposure to the virus on the sixth day of treatment, it is of the utmost importance to consult a doctor. They will consider the situation at hand very carefully and consequently decide this case. Quite sometimes, they might find it adequate to prolong the treatment duration according to personal circumstances for optimal safety. Never forget that open and honest communication with your healthcare team is the crucial component of the best possible care.

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.

Male | 31
If you have a morphology level of 3, it may mean that there is a slight imbalance in your body. This could lead to symptoms such as feeling tired and having difficulty concentrating. Some common reasons for this are an inadequate diet, lack of physical activity, or stress. You can address these issues by eating well-balanced meals regularly, engaging in regular physical exercise, and employing stress-relieving techniques like deep breathing or meditation.
