Good day Doc, I'm a guy in my late twenties and for the past 6months I've been experiencing this excruciating waist pain that is making me to be dull and lazy, I find it very hard to walk, sit nor stand as a normal human coz of the pain, bending down is a no no, when it started earlier Ibruprofen numbs the pain for days but now it doesn't, pls what therapy or drugs can I take to rid me of the pain forever. Thanks.

the best option is to know the actual cause of the pain. Pls endeavour to go to a standard hospital. They will most likely request u to do a lumbosacral spine xray. The xray will point at the cause. For starters most people adopt a wrong sitting position when sitting. Rather that sitting upright, the sit in a slanting on tilted position and that transmits the body weight to the lower back. so start sitting in the right position then go for the xray.

Hello sir, I feel a terrible pain in my vagina especially when I pee. I've tried a few medication and it just don't work. Sometimes I have a discharge that looks like a cottage Cheese and it smells fishy....Please I need your advice. Thanks

you most likely have a Urinary tract infection and also a vaginal infection most probably vaginitis and candidiasis. you should get to a hospital. They will ask u to do a urine analysis,urine m/c/s and also a high vaginal swab mcs. with the result u will be treated appropriately.

Good day doctor,ve issue bothering me.got pregnant last year n gave birth to baby boy via CS dis year n d boy is 7 month. want to know wen it's OK to conceive n give birth normally. (2)I heard there are drugs one can take to prevent pregnancy .thanks as I await ur reply

Irrespective of the mode of delivery the best inter pregnancy interval is 18 - 24 months. this is to allow full recovery from the toll taken on the body of the mother by the pregnancy and to also allow enough time to cater for the newborn. As for the case of someone that had a Cesarean operation(C/S). it is safer to wait for the said duration before taking in again so as to allow for the scar of the surgery on the incised uterus to heal properly in addition to allowing the mother to recover fully. Note that the earlier a woman gets pregnant after a Cesarean section the higher the chances of her having a uterine rupture in Labor. In this regard we always advice women that had a CS delivery to ensure they choose one of the family planning options so as to prevent and avoid getting pregnant before proper healing of the scar.

Rafob:
Hello doctor my wife is fifty years now her period has stopped for two months now pls can we have sex or can she conceive when we have sex without prevention thanks

well with regards to your wife, she is most likely menopausal(i.e has reached menopause) or pre-menopausal(i.e about to reach menopause) this is so because the age at which women attain menopause varies. during menopause a woman stops seeing her period which happens gradually rather than abrupt. as such a women tends to see her menses less often. if she menstruates monthly previously, it might reduce to once in two or three months and gradually increases till the menses finally stops. This happens in phases so that the body can adjust to the upcoming changes gradually. As such if she is still seeing her menses once in a while, one cant rule out pregnancy totally though it is rare for it to happen at that age. If u are wary of her getting pregnant, i will just advice you take to one of the family planning options.

iykenex:

Doc, my neighbour's daughter told me that she took a contraceptive drug for a pregnancy getting to 2 months and since then she has been seeing her menses two times in a month. Pls I need reply on what to tell her.

Normal menstrual cycle is 21 days to 35 days as such it is possible for a lady to see her menses twice a month especially if her menstrual cycle is 21 days. that simply means she will see it at the beginning of the month and also at the end of the month.

start monitoring your ovulation. u can use the basal body temperature method so that u can plan your sexual intercourse toward ovulation. that should help. Also u should have a serum LH and progesteron assay done during ovulation period to ascertain if u are ovulating.

HI Doctor Dammy,
My name is James. I am 36. I got married in December 2014. I ve not been in active sex until December 2013, then I found that I ejaculate too soon even before penetration. I went to Hospital Doctor gave me some prescription but these could not solve the problem. I went back after two weeks, he gave another different prescription which I took but could not stop the premature ejaculation. Among the prescription I was given is Manix Capsule & some Vitamin supplements. I equally on my own tried a Herbal medicine called Alberchin Herbal yet nothing worked. Since last month now, I found it very hard to get and maintain an erection. Most times now, I hadly develop the urge for sex. My sex life is really suffering. My wife is really complaining. I cannot even make love with her now. Pls, I really need your advise and solution on this.
I am waiting earnestly.

Good morning. with regards to the issue u discussed. I will say you have 1)erectile dysfunction which is defined as inability to initiate, sustain or maintain erection for the period of SI. also you have what is called premature ejaculation with a possible low libido or loss of libido. The management of this kind of condition has various aspects some and medical, others involve behavioural change, while other mean required involves the psychological aspect that will require the cooperation of your sexual partner. I will list some things that u can do to help out. Firstly is that you should know that sex has various contributary components that must interplay for sexual intercourse to be successful they include the physical, mental, psychological, hormonal or chemical, and emotional components. For the physical component, you should start engaging yourself in various forms of physical exercises, if possible register at a gym close to you cos that is very vital in the sense that physical fitness and agility are vital ingredients in sexual activities. Secondly for the that u should relax as much as possible. don't rush into sex. If your job is the busy or hectic type, don't plan to have sex as soon as you get home cos u won't be able to fulfill the physical requirement even if you are mentally ready. as such just relax and wait till u have slept and woken up and body is refreshed, preferably very early in the morning. Thirdly for the mental and psychological aspect, make sure u get ur head straight. take your thought away from worries and focus on you sexual partner when having sex and don't rush into copulation. You can practice the technique of masturbating an hour or two before SI cos that delays your ejaculation during sex. also u can practice the "PAUSE AND SQUEEZE TECHNIQUE" with your partner. This involves
1.Beginning sexual activity as usual, including stimulation
of the penis, until you feel almost ready to ejaculate.
2. Have your partner squeeze the end of your penis, at
the point where the head (glans) joins the shaft, and
maintain the squeeze for several seconds, until the
urge to ejaculate passes.
3. After the squeeze is released, wait for about 30
seconds, then go back to pre-intimacy. You may notice
that squeezing the penis causes it to become less
erect, but when sexual stimulation is resumed, it
soon regains full erection.
4. If you again feel you're about to ejaculate, have your
partner repeat the squeeze process.
U can also try the midstream urine holding technique where u start urinating then stop midway and continue to hold the remaining urine. u can them empty it later
Next is leaving a healthy lifestyle, avoid alcohol as much as possible. Eat a lot of fruits and carbs.
Engage in pre-intimacy before sex cos that also helps a lot and always try to go for a second round of sex even when ur erection is flat, encourage your partner to stimulate u, she also has to be patient cos the stimulation to get the second erection can take take a while. Now to the medical aspect I will want you to do dia hormonal test for serum testosterone. There are some drugs that can also be used.let me have ur email add

Hello doc. God bless u. Please I have some rash on ma labia minora for almost two years now with no other symptom. I spoke with my doctor he checked it but said he didn't see anything though he is an old man kind off in early 60s but I was diagnosed of low blood pressure 90/50. He asked many questions but couldn't figure the cause of the low pressure. but I read on Internet that an infection can cause low blood pressure. Recently I noticed serious itch from the rash it was so intense I couldn't wait to go to the hospital.

I grinded garlic and rub the juice on it an it was so peppery n swollen which made me think it would work I also inserted som are e in the vagina for 3 consecutive days cos I read It's a natural remedy for bacteria. It actually reduced the itch a great deal but the rashes still there and av been aving different kinds of discharge. first it formed clot and then the colour was deep yellow with no clot. It is now light yellow and it's been four days since I stopped the garlic use.

In anticipation of ur response. Thank u

with regards to the genital rash that is now chronic. well there are various causes of genital rashes e.g genita herpes, warts, vulvovaginitis, syphilis and others. well with regards to this i think i think what u may have is likely to be genital herpes which is a viral infection usually contracted through sexual contact. but irrespective u should have a VDRL test and HIV test done and also u should have a vaginal swab M/c/S done to ascertain the organism causing of the funny discharge u are having. with regards to your low blood pressure,if u dont have any major symptoms like fainting, i am not disturbed, that means you are asymptomatic. i will just advice for now that you should increase your salt intake and increase your fluid i.e water intake. but dont bother yourself unnecessarily with that unless u have symptoms

honeyjoy77:

I really appreciate your prompt response. My hubby had done semen analysis and result was okay. The test was conducted on six day of my circle.

with that info, it means the test result is normal. have ever u gotten pregnant in the past?, and is the sexual exposure adequate as i have defined it earlier?

Sexologist:
hello doc, thanks for the good work here.... a female friend of mine was diagnosed with staph , she was advice by the doctor to use Diflucan and gynodactarin, even mycotin.

started last year....
1. she sees white yeast discharge from her privates.
2. itching
3. feel like peeing and peppery painful peeing experience.
4. during sex immediately after the first penetration, she said her privates brings out lots of whitish yeast discharge.
5. waist/back pain
6. growth around d privates..

After using the drugs prescribed still no cure...

this is over two years now....

what should she do? she is spending a lot and her lamentations are so much.... m close to the family, that's y I got to know... thanks

with regards to your friend, i have this questions for her. Did she have a sample from the discharge taken for test? (High vaginal swab m/c/s). now that she is having pain on urination, that simply means she has a urinary tract infection in addition to the yeast infection. Also the fact that she has pain on Menses and sexual intercourse might indicate a pelvic infection. furthermore, sometimes a vaginal yeast infection occurs with other vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis,chlamydia, Trichomoniasis,genital warts,vaginitis, herpes and the rest. the best bet is for her to have the vaginal swab test done. she should also have a urine test done i.e urinalysis and urine m/c/s. that is to ascertain the presence of a urinary tract infection which i also think she has. But in the mean time she should increase her water intake.watch the public toilet you use, preferably use swipes and tissue paper to swipe and cover the toilet seat before sitting,stick to one sexual partner, avoid washing your genital area with soap, use cotton based under wears.make sure your sexual partner also gets treated. I would have prescribed some drugs for you if i had your e-mail.

Thanks, I'm ttc for 2yrs. This is the lab investigation report ! PROLACTIN 16.0 ng/ml, FSH 11.0 miu/ml, PROGESTERONE 8.5 ng/ml, LH 3.2 miu/ml.

the test is normal. The LH varies with the period in your menstrual cycle when the blood sample was taken. and also if one is on contraception the value also becomes this low. All the other parameters are also normal. Then with regards to you still ttc. Before one can say there's a problem of conception this criteria must have been met. 1) regular sexual exposure of at least three times a week for a period of at least one year in a woman that has never conceived or six months for a woman that has conceived before. Secondly the husband must deposit quality sperm. then thirdly the woman's reproductive system must be okay and also the hormonal system must also be okay. from the test you posted I can say the hormonal assay looks okay. Just ensure u fulfill the 1st criteria before you start bothering unnecessarily, because most patients don't have adequate sexual exposure and they start complaining of infertility when it's actually not there

For the past four months now, I have not enjoyed my health. I was first diagnosed with salmonella typhi. O and H 1/160

I have taken only ofloxacin and chloramphenicol as prescribed by doctors...

the only two symptoms dat have remained till date are severe joint pain and constant strange headache.... and also feeling of tiredness sometimes....

I have done virtually all tests known at doctors instructions but all tests have come out normal and ok including HIV except for widal ....1/160


plsee how can I be free from dis totally?

am about 28 years now, and since I grew to know myself I have not fallen sick beyond two days...

dis sickness is strange to me and has even caused me depression...plse help..

Salmonella typhi and paratyphi causes typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever as u know. well the main source of the infection include the water, we drink and the food we eat. I will advice you to make sure the source of your water is clean. Most people think the so called "pure water " is safe, but believe me most of them are not safe for drinking, as such I always advice boiling your water and if possible get water guard to treat the water before drinking. Also, make sure you pay attention to where u eat especially of you eat outside, and also make sure you wash or peel your fruits before eating them. On the other hand if you really want protect yourself by preventing the infection you can get the TYPHOID VACCINE. It gives you a 3 year protection against typhoid and it's also very affordable,furthermore it is on the long run cheaper and more cost effective than treating typhoid repeatedly.

Babice:
Hlo doc,ok,a friend of myn has an infection,her vagina itches,she has irregular menstrual cycle,serious menstrual pain evry month,coloured &smelling discharges,serious sharp stomach pain,she's had it 4 lyk 8yrs nw & she's jst 16,she once had it treated earlier dis yr,it went away & returned lyk 2 months later even worse,ok,last month,she went 2 anoda hospital 4 anoda checkup,she's a virgin, d doc inserted a speculum inside her vagina 2 test 4 d infection & she felt serious pain & was bleeding,she thinks her hymen was broken,was d doc supposed 2 do dat?is it possible that she is still a virgin & wat do u think might be wrong with her cos she's scared of going 2 d hospital 2 proceed with d scan d doc asked her to do.

with regards to that your friend. well I think she has what doctors call a chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). she needs to see a gynaecologist and most likely they will take a sample of the discharge she is having(high vaginal swab m/c/s) for a test to identify the organisms causing the infection. also it is important she does the pelvic scan as the doctor requested cos that will help ascertain the possibility of an organic problem. Also she should try as much as possible to avoid douching, ensure very good hygiene, be watchful of the kind of public toilet she uses and the kind of underwear she uses. If she is already sexually active, cos most girls keep claiming virginity, well she shld make sure her boyfriend or sexual partner also gets treated.

olaronkecristian:

hello doc, pls can stres prevent implantation on a clomid cycle. Thanks

the effect of clomid is not for implantation but rather to allow the ovum to release egg. that is why it is called an ovulation induction drug. as for STRESS, it is true that it prevent implantation, and even if implantation occurs during stress, it is weak and thirdly stress again can also dislodge an implanted fertilised ovum. that is why we encourage adequate rest and avoidance of stress during the first trimester in pregnancy.

honeyjoy77:
Hi Doctor, please I need your suggestion. I did hormonal profile assay, and result revealed low LH 3.2 others normal. Will low lh affect conception? Because I'm ttc.

. well with regards a low LH value, isolated low LH value without a low FSH value rarely occurs. so maybe there's is a possibility of a laboratory error. that been said, LH and FSH are required in males for puberty and also sperm production while in women it is needed for normal process of menstruation and subsequently needed for ovulation and pregnancy to occur. when the values are low all this processes are affected. I will like to know the reason why you were told to do the hormonal assay as well.

Igemburg:



I have d same issue, please any solution?

Normally most men have what we call urethral secretions which has a function of lubrication and protection of the urethra. Some other times the secretion might be abnormal especially when there is associated pain on urination, that may indicate an STI or StD, in such situations the best bet is to go to a hospital where samples of the secretion will be taken for tests and appropriate sensitive antibiotics will be given to kill the organism causing it. Also if it is confirmed that it's an infection, the best thing is for u and ur partner to get treated at the same time.

ahnie:
Good a.m doc,so as regards to my previouz question,when am i gonna see my menses?pls i need a specific accuracy.

u shld start seeing ur menses when u stop breastfeeding.

Mr. Wale. from a medical point of view, it is healthier to be slim, although not too slim. Been slim ensures that your body mass index (BMI) stays within the normal which is the best for you, cos slim people tend to have lesser issues to worry about at old age. fat ppl have a lot of health issues to contend with as they grow older like diabetes, hypertension, arthritis and lipid disorders that can lead to various complications and furthermore decrease quality of life. Although if u feel u are way too slim for your liking and u want to add a few pounds, all u need to do is add more calories to your diet. eg fatty foods, carbohydrates and rich proteins like egg, meat, fish, milk and so on. Basically just Eat more frequently ,Choose nutrient-rich foods,Try smoothies and shakes.Watch when you drink.Make every bite count by chewing ur food properly before swallowing Top it off Have an occasional treat. Exercise. and also sleep and rest well. Finally pls avoid drugs that make u "add weight" e.g Cypron (ciproheptadine) etc, cos they have more health risks than benefits

with regards to not seeing ur menses 3 months after putting to bed, if you are breastfeeding the baby ur body secretes a hormone that inhibits or stops menses. This is known as lactational amenorrhoea

When were you born that you are posting this nonsense here. We saw it with our eyes. Buhari, the illiterate sharia proponent was the beginning of Nigeria's economic mess and the decay we have today and he was a coward to boot. If he was a real man, he would not have hidden under Idiagbon's pants for 20 months. As soon as Idiagbon went for hajj, they kicked the fool out of office without a single fight. If that dolt had not truncated our nascent and budding democracy, we would have been a great country today. The idiota wanted to be a life president and had no single plan to return the country back to democracy. No wonder he never supported any of the struggle to return the country back to democracy throughout the 90s. Even people like Tinubu and Gowon at one time or the other learnt their voice to the call for democracy but Buhari was silent all along. Where was the idiotic Buhari when so many people came out to advocate to a return to democracy? He was busy frolicking and dinning and embezzling with Abacha and later declared Abacha corruption free. Now he wants to reap where he didnt sow. He wants to enjoy a democracy he vehemently truncated and fought against.

He will fail as he has always failed.

Sometimes i read some peoples senseless sentimental comments about Buhari and wonder if this ppl are at all sensible.if Ʊ are to criticise a leader, get ur facts and not the rubbish street stories Ʊ pick up the street.
At least dont Ʊ think if Buhari was as corrupt as Ʊ think then y isnt EFCC chasing him, at least he was a former head of state and was also former minister for petroleum. Take it or leave ur families must have benefitted from ptf. And after vacating the post what wealth cld Ʊ say he amassed as he only has two private properties i.e his house in kaduna and abuja. S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ what the hell are Ʊ talking about that he is corrupt. Y did our dearly Beloved GEJ refuse to declare his assets. Thats becos even a blind man knows this PDP administration is a corrupt one

I am doctor dammy, i am willing to answer ur medical questions and at the same time profer professional medical advices for ur various complaints.. Feel free.
