Why Am I Still Anemic After Delivery Treatment?
After delivery, I have anemia, low pressure, dizziness, weakness. It has been a year. I am taking iron and calcium tablets continuously. Nothing is happening. What to do now. Please advise.
Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 9th Aug '24
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.

Swelling in Neck: Cancer Concern
i am a 53 years male person, for last one month i feel swelling in my nech ,can i infected with cancer
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 8th Aug '24
A swelling in your neck could come from different causes - not cancer alone. Infections or other issues might make it happen. Cancer wouldn't be the only reason for neck swelling. Along with a lump, fever, cough, and weight loss would occur if it were cancer. It's wise to let a doctor examine you thoroughly and pinpoint the trigger behind the swelling.

Should I retest for HIV after 2023 negative result?
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 ?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 8th Aug '24
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.

According to the blood test results you provided, the total white blood cell (TLC) count is above the norm, which may be indicative of an infection or inflammation in the body. High TLC may come with symptoms like fever, fatigue, and coolness of the body. To deal with this problem, it is necessary to find the primary cause of the increased TLC level by conducting more tests and getting a doctor's opinion for suitable treatment.

Understanding Your CBC Results: WBC, RBC, NEU Levels

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 5th Aug '24
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.

Can Scratched Hand Transmit HIV Quickly?
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?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 2nd Aug '24
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.

Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

Concerned about Cough, Cold & Blood in Sputum
I have normal cold and cough and sputum with blood from nose and mouth both
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 26th July '24
You have a common cold and cough. When blowing your nose or coughing up phlegm, you notice blood. This happens because coughing irritates the delicate blood vessels in the nose and throat. However, blood can signify other issues like sinus infections or severe conditions. Pay attention to the amount of blood - a little may not be concerning, but persistent or excessive bleeding warrants medical attention. For now, avoid blowing your nose forcefully and stay hydrated to soothe your throat. If blood persists, consult an ENT specialist to rule out serious problems.
