Jaywon242:

no history of heart related illness. no sickle cell disease. no asthma and no recent hospital admission. she did an FBC test and d result is shown here as:
PCV- 40%
WBC- 4.2× 10 to power 9/c
N- 48
L-52
M-00
E-00
B-00
Film comments: RBC & platelets appear normal and adequate.
but I think she has an infection though

Lab report is ok.
I insist she should visit the hospital, just to err on the side of caution. @ 6weeks gestation, I expect exaggerated PMS- like symptoms and a little more, but your complaint is out of place for me. Is she currently on any medication(s)?

@rukkington

It's possible but not necessary. Wait till CD 21.

Inspite of everything, do takeout time to breathe, ok?

Did the backache start before the pregnancy?

While back ache may be caused by pregnancy due to hormone released by your body which loosens ligaments support of your back bone it is unlikely that this would begin as early as 4 weeks.

Be that as it may, do these things

-See your doctor to further evaluate you
-Improve on your posture - Sit straight, Walk upright
-Use Cold compresses (bag of ice ) on your back for 20mins
-Use Warm compresses (warm cloth) on your back too
-Use analgesics - Paracetamol is safe in pregnancy

Regards Dr Sofa

Thanks doctor. The backache started 2weeks ago

its most likely very normal. D preggy hormones act on ur ligaments makin dem softer. So its a bit uncomfy n may resolve over time.
if ur bed is soft dats anoda cause. Lying on firm bed or surfaces do help
As rightly suggested cold or hot compress wit balm give gud relief

Thanks Dona tee and doctor sofadj.I went to the hospital this morning, they gave me paracetamol and told me the same thing.

Thnx Doc and @Donatee, I'm grateful
I asked a question which u av not replied, I said is it necessary to run ECS test when I av done HVS test before and it ruled out infection

ECS is different from HVS, so yes, you should do it.
Make sure all tests are done at a reputable lab.

I gave birth 9 months ago. I and hubby plan to have another baby on the way once baby clocks 7mths. My period returned when the baby was 4mths. Initially, my period was irregular but the last three cycles is 27days. I have tried using ovulation kit to see if I can pick my ovulation day. No luck. What do I do

120=98
150=91

Hello ominskie

In addition to inferences made from your symptoms and signs shown, these tests would be helpful to detemine if an infective organism in your blood and what type

-Full Blood Count
-Peripheral Blood Film
-Blood Culture

Doc....pls wat causes a painful ovulation especially on th first day.. and is it normal. Tnks.

Doc, what's the best medication approach to Gonorrhea Infection. Is a prescription of Ciprofloxacin 500mg + Doxicillin 100mg for 7days start a good one? Or what do you feel should prescribed for one being resistant

Jaywon242:

she's not on any medication @ d moment..I'll take her to d hospital on friday. I was told she shld register for ante-natal @ d 10th week of pregnancy.

Jaywon don't be scare,its Js a pregnancy symptom.i HD d same experience wen I was around 5wks pregnant n with time it stopped.

Doc....pls wat causes a painful ovulation especially on th first day.. and is it normal. Tnks.

Ovulation pain may vary in severity from a mild lower abdominal discomfort to a more serious one. It is usually one sided - the side of the ovary releasing the egg lasting few minutes to hours. Several theories abound as the cause of this pain. The most widely accepted is the theory of follicular fluid being released along with your egg which causes some form of irritation to the abdominal cavity onto which it is released.

Ovulation pain is normal however it varies in severity from cycle to cycle and from women to women.

To know if your pain is due to ovulation:
Determine if it occurs around your mid-cylce ( 2weeks from the first day of your menses)
If your pain is severe or lasts more than a day, see a doctor who will help evaluate for other causes of the pain.

The best approach depends on the microbial sensitivity pattern of your region. In layman terms ; an antibiotic may be effective against a bacteria infection0 in a region and resistant in another region.
That being said, there have been a report of widespread resistance to Ciprofloxacin by the bacteria that causes Gonorrhea making Ciprofloxacin unrecommended.

If resistance is suspected, I strongly suggest you promptly visit a hospital and laboratory where microscopy, culture and sensitivity may be done to identify the most effective drug in your case and be properly managed.

good day Doc,

I have been having severe backache and waist pain for over 7months. I was diagnosed of UTI and was given Oflaxacin for 7days. however i still have pains, I can hardly sit for a long time, I can't bend.
the pain is very severe and my doctor keeps telling me to take analgesic.


kindly advise me as I am TTC.

Did u repeat d urine culture to b sure it was cleared?
Ecs culture n a pelvic scan shld rule out pelvic infections

Age, sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, n sleeping on very soft surfaces may b a cause.
I recommend u see an orthopaedic Doctor for review
