Interpretation please,wat is epithelial though she was told there is nothing wrong.

Xiadnat:


Sorry your questions went unanswered. I did not answer myself because I do not reside in Nigeria. Why don't you create a separate post, perhaps some other Nigerians might have answer for you.

temmytwity:
Ok the result does not want to upload.Lemme just write wat's on the result .The hubby sperm test

Xiadnat:


It is normal. What is this? A Pap smear or just a vaginal smear?

Epithelial cells are normal cell findings in the vagina.

temmytwity:


Dr please attend to this,we have an idea of wat the test is but wanna hear from you and give recommendation of drugs.Thanks

Pacesetter4lyf:
HELP MY EYES PLEASE
, is this problem common? Does it have a name? will my eyesight get better? Will I need a reading glass or an anti glare glass? Do laptops have special glasses? Will I eventually need an operation? Mean while how should I manage this?

I seriously want to get better? I would be useless without these eyes. Pleeease answer me.

Xiadnat:


This seme*n analysis is very abnormal. For one, it has many pus in it meaning there is an infection. This infection needs to be treated; that's likely what the augmentin was given for. Augmentin is an antibiotics, but I really wonder if it is the right antibiotics for the kind of infection I suspect.

I recommend that you seek a urologist that specializes in male infertility, get the seme*n culture and have the pus analyzed for the type of organism in it and treat it appropriately with the proper antibiotics.

Right now, much of his sperm is non functional. This will likely improve the sperm analysis once infection successfully treated and hopefully, fertility.

Good luck

Ok thanks Dr but why is my sister free from any sort of infection and her husband isn't. Is it some kind of resistance her pus cells is nil while the husband's own is numerous could dat b the reason she's always feeling itch few days after having sex with her H. Forgive my curiosity I just need well informed info so I will know how to pacify her. And wat kind of infection are you suspecting?

Pacesetter4lyf:
Xiadnat God bless you so much for your answers. i would see an opthamologist on monday. you could be right about the BP stuff, as i could most times feel the heavy racing of my heart or the "dancing" of my veins. but i am only 23. i should be able to bring feedback after 2moro's encounter. i just pray they be able to diagnose well. and another thing, it has seemingly transcended beyond comp stuff. it has affected my normal eyesight and my daily dealings too. Thanks once again.
And oh yes, as for thyriod, swallowing used to be a big problem. still persists though. and i feel great pressure on my goitre/adams apple/neck. and some other minor complaints.

i suppose GP means? . . . . thanks.

Ineffective treatment. You are getting relapse from release of parasites from the liver.

Malaria infects both the liver and the red blood cells. The liver is the reservoir for malaria parasites.

The lumartem treats only the red blood cells affected by the parasites. It doesn't treat those hiding out in the liver.

What happens is when you take lumartem, you kill off parasites in the blood stream. BUT, soon after, the parasites in the liver are still replicating and releasing parasites into the blood stream from the liver. Hence, the febrile cycle.

In other words, you need something that will kill off the parasites stored in the liver. Primaquine is an anti-malarial that targets liver.

Add PRIMAQUINE TO LUMARTEM. Try that and let me know how it goes.

I got to a big pharmacy shop in Nigeria and asked for primaquine, they said they never heard of a drug by that name. What you said is true cos I read about primaquine online. Maybe there is another brand name for it here. Any help?

UnknownT:
Doctors in the house, what could cause someone to suffer from paralysis that will make the person not to be able to get up to go and pee unless the person is carried to the toilet, the person will now pee on the bed, if help didn't come on time. Also, the person will be talking like someone that just had a stroke(like the tongue is twisted or cleft) but after a few minutes, the person will start getting himself. Its like a daily occurrence now

Xiadnat:


Oh that sucks. I only know this drug by its generic name. I don't even think it has a brand name.

You probably need to go visit your doctor and have her prescribe it---your doc might have better idea of the equivalent in Nigeria.

I will refer you to this website with equivalent of primaquine in india; see if Nigerian's pharmacy recognizes any of those.

Good luck. I will keep looking for possible equivalents for Nigeria.

*modified*:

Ok. Go to you pharmacist and ask for this one: Amodiaquine. Should probably get Rx for it though. It is suppose to be same thing as primaquine used widely in Africa. Also try: Camoquin, Flavoquine

StealthIdeals:
I got amodiaquine. Pls what's the dosage?

yemi2plus:
Hello Doc,

Nice work you're doing here.

Please, what could be the reason behind an increase in heartbeat? I think my heart beat faster than normal. Though, I visited my school medical centre and complained to the doctor who prescribe some drugs which I have completed dosage but still can't notice any obvious improvement.
Also, I sometimes feel this vibrating/shocking movement around my body particularly around my legs and hand mostly at night before sleeping.
Thanks as I await your profesionally reply.

Xiadnat:




Awesome !
Recommended dosage is 10mg/kg/day once daily for 3 days or 25-35mg/kg total spread over 3 days What is your weight in kilogram?

Please be advised of the side effects of this drug. Google it please. If you want, I can also send you link where you can read about this drug.

Best.

70kg. Only hepatoxicity seems to be the most dreaded. Since it has related chemical structure with chloroquine, will chloroquin-resistant strains of P.falciparum not be resistant to it?

Olatara:
