Hello Dr Balogun, nice to have you back. Please could you tell me if there is any health complication from daily consumption of about 3 tablespoonful of groundnut (peanut). I heard that it could affect the eye, how true is that? I also heard that blood toxicity could affect the eye too, is that true too. Waiting for a responce soon. Thanks.

HELLO DOC. IF SOMEONE IS INFECTED WITH THE HIV VIRUS DOES IT RESULT IN LEANNESS AFTER SAY ABOUT ONE YEAR?

Thanks doctor,the intching has stop after using medicated soap but the lump under the armpit is still there.

Hi balogun

Hi Kathyekiti. Fantastic what you are doing with the ObGyn thread. Must I assume correctly that you are based in the US

Hi Doctor,

Good day, Please whats staphylococcus, can it be seen in a lady's urinalysis, how is it contacted and how can it be cured,Can it prevent a lady from taking in?

Secondly, I do have a painful ovulation, is it proper, though the pains last for some few hours and stop. Though my Mensal is pain free.

Staphylococcus is bacteria that is unusual to find in urine. It is a gram positive bacteria. Usually get it in skin infections.
Mid cycle pain is called Mittelschmerz. It is not uncommon. Kathyekiti might be able to explain that better

Good to hear that you're loosing weight successfully.

In morbidly obese people, hygiene could be an issue, however, if water is truely coming out of your anus, then you need an evaluation for fistula.

I suspect that excess skin folds, hair follicles produce a lot of sweat to make you think water is coming from your anus.

If the water 'feels, smells like sweat' I would say it's sweat, but if you're passing urine-like material from your anus, then you go for proctosigmoidoscopy(anal and rectal) examination by your md.

Sleeping positions vary, I would stick with which ever position makes you most comfortable.

@naijaking1, Naijamedico, Balogun & co.
I would say its water but it is worsened when I sweat and now I cant afford to put on bright coloured trousers because of the embarassment the sweat causes.
What is evaluation for fistula and what does it involve?

As for loosing weight, I was down with typhoid last week but I took out my sister's YOYO BITTERS, It didnt releive the typhoid at all but throught the 7 days, I neither lost appetite nor vomitted so my hope of loosing more weight was dashed but I'm trying.

Doctors in the House. pls i need help. i used earphone for some time in the office then the ear started itching me continuously and frequently.a day i didnt bring cutton bud from home, i stuck a blunt pencil (now i know thats childish and unwise) into my ears and i think it broke a nerve head or so because it pained me for almost a week and i had to use Panadol before sleeping for 4 consecutive days.
after the pain eased, i started feeling a numb sensation in my ear akin to what you have when you have water trapped in your ears. and its been going on for a week or so now. Pls what can i do about it??

pheesayor. I think naijaking is more or less your personal physician here. He knows more about you than the rest of us. When he comes on next he will attend to your query.
mishooo, have you heard the statement about never putting anything smaller than your elbow in your ear!! Chances are that you have perforated your eardrum with a sharp implement in your ear. See your own doctor to confirm this. He might want to treat you with antibiotics. Generally this settles with conservative management

Hello Dr Balogun, nice to have you back. Please could you tell me if there is any health complication from daily consumption of about 3 tablespoonful of groundnut (peanut).

Hello Doc. Please I'm still waiting for a response to the above message. Thanks.

U1, I know your question isn't directed at me but I'm curious when you say three tablespoonful of groundnut, do you mean the actual nuts or its paste? To the best of my knowledge, I cannot relate groundnut consumption with eye affectation except perhaps a truckload of pimples interfering with your sight (lol)

What on earth do you mean by blood toxicity? Sounds like a herbal practitioners lexicon!!!

Naijamedic, thanks for the response. Actually, I was referring to the nuts, and I don't have pimples. I'm just worried about people making inference to groundnut causing eye problem.

About the blood toxicity, I think I got that one from the herbal practitioners' lexicon. LOL.

Nice one

@balogun
You are right. I am based in NY. The thread is very fulfilling and I think I have enough blessings from the responders to last a lifetime. I am truly grateful. This was a great idea!

brein:

Mr. Balogun, thanks for been a great Dr here, but do u have a cure for HIV yet ? some once asked me also that what would be a medcine for pennis enlargement
thank you

I'm just going to be assisting Dr. Balogun for this question-oh.

Now, which one you want first? Large pennis or cure for HIV?

Naijaking I am glad you will be answering the question for brein and his friend!!!

I'm 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant, I've been having period like cramping for about 34 hours, my sister who is an LPN is telling me that its false labor because the contractions aren't regulating themselves. I can't eat or sleep, because they are painful and making me nauseous. Should I go to the hospital, and if I do will they be able to do anything for me if it is false labor?

Coldredtea. You probably would have had the baby before you read this. Kathyekiti is the person to answer this question. Good luck with whatever time is left of your pregnancy. Let us know whether it is a boy or girl

hi doc balogun

PLS DOCTORS IN THE HOUSE I HAVE A PROBLEM, I HAVE A FIANCEE BUT I NOTICED
THAT AFTER 2 OR 3 OF SLEEPING WITH HIM, I WILL BE HAVING A DISCHARGE.
AND NOT JUST THAT, IT SMELLS. THOUGHH I STOPPED SLEEPING WITH HIM FOR
3 MONTHS NOW, IT STILL CONTINUES. PLS I NEED UR ADVICE AND CONSULTATION

doctor,please would you happen to know anywhere dna test is conducted in nigeria? pls i need a rely urgently.

Doctor please
wats d probability of a man with a low
sperm count 2 produce kids

and how can d sperm count be boosted

Low sperm count does not preclude someone fathering a child. However it could be cause for infertility. The standard advice given is to avoid tight pants and warm areas near the man's Instruments. Truck drivers were known to be an infertile lot!! Never sure if anyone ever did a proper study on that.

Pls,i had appendomy,and at the same time ovarian cycst was removed that was like 5ys ago.

But i noticed i do have pains on my left side tommy pls what can i do?

What is the difference between Malaria and Flu? Am currently having pain in my joints with slight intermintent fever perhaps 3 times in a day. I react to sulphonamides and even to normal paracetamol so am quite reluctant to take antimalaria like halfan or larimal yet.

Please,i had appendomy,and at the same time ovarian cycst was removed that was like 5ys ago.

But i noticed i do have pains on my left side tommy please what can i do?

After a successful appendectomy, other possible cause of abdominal pain (--?male or female) are still plenty. I assumed that you're female. If you had ovarian cyst removal on the right side 5 yrs ago, it would not be a surprise if you have same problem on the left side.

My recommendation is to follow up with your OB/Gyne, and possibly see a surgeon. A CT scan is an excellent diagnostic test if you can afford it, otherwise try an ultrasound of the abdomen/pelvis

I just did scan and nothing was there

follyflash:

What type of scan? CT or ultrasound? That it showed nothing is good so far, especially as it point to a periodic pattern, and likely of a gynecological origin.

Hello Doctors,
Pls i need help on Urgency in Urine treatment for my father.

insight:

Hello Doctors,
Please i need help on Urgency in Urine treatment for my father.

Do you need help as a matter of urgency, or your father is having urgency? Urinary urgency is usually associated with frequency. In men older than 45-50 years of age, increase in the size of the prostrate (for whatever reason) could be a significant cause of urgency, frequency, hestitancy, retention, etc. If urinary tract infection is excluded from this clinical scenerio, then you need to take your father to a urologist for a DRE, and other exams.
