Oh...so that means di talaga need magpa-D & C pa. Eh, would she be positive pa rin sa preg test? just wanted to be sure!

 

Yup, puwede.

Mga doc, it's me again...and its about mah wife pa rin... :(

 

It's been three weeks or nearly a month since I posted na fetal demise yung aming baby sa ultrasound. However, di pa rin dinudugo ang asawa ko and she is soo afraid kse dapat naka-ready na cia for raspa pero since ala pang bleeding indicating na lalabas na ung dead fetus di kami matuloy...bka mapaano sya dfahil nasa aloob pa yung dead na fetus sa loob nya and could cause infection on her part or even worse pa cguro...

What could possibly have happened?? What should you suggest that we do?

 

One more thing, would she still be positive sa pregnancy test?

 

Thanks mga docs, badly again needing your advises on this!!

 

IMHO sir... it would be on the judgement of the ob if your wife will be needing a d&c...the womens body is capable of knowing if the pregnancy is viable or not...like in the case of blighted pregnancy..the body will eventually endergo processes to recover after knowing that the pregnancy is not viable..at this point if there are no complications like hemorrhage or infections the ob may wait for the products of conception to be passed out naturally...it will be based on the judgement of the ob if the case will warrant intervention. you may ask your ob to explain the process to you so you wont be bothered much and to know what will you expect..im sure he/she will gladly answer your questions....

Try Cosmedics in Quezon Ave. (It is on the right after coming from EDSA, near Sun Life). They have a certified dermatologist there. You can do a google search on them and check their site.

Mga docs, my son fell down by accident and his bones at his left arm, both the radius and ulna, were broken. It was my ex-wife who brought my son to the hospital and so i didnt see the first xray. They just put my son's arm in a cast and was told to return after 3 weeks. I was the one who brought him back after the 3 weeks had passed and i had him xrayed again before bringing him back to the same hospital. I saw at the xray that both his radius and ulna were really broken and not aligned at all. However, after seeing the xray, the doctor again placed a new cast on my son's arm without even doing anything to align the bones, and we were told to go back again after 3 weeks. I wasnt really convinced about that and so I brought him to the national orthopedic at banawe, qc. We were told that surgery is needed to align the bones since they are really not even near aligning level, and metal screws will be installed. The metal that will be installed is quite expensive. However, i am willing to have it done if it is really necessary. My son is very afraid of the surgery and the pain it will entail afterwards, especially with the metal screws and all. My question is this, is there a possibility that although a surgery is made, that both bones shall be aligned but no metal will be installed? Alignment through hand manipulation and then place his arm in a cast afterwards? I hope to hear your replies as soon as possible as I have already scheduled his surgery for next week. Thanks and hope to hear from you guys... By the way, my son is 12 years old..

sir, I am not an ortho surgeon but i think that surgery with metal screws and plates and cast is the best way to fix your son's arm. In ENT, we do a lot of maxillofacial reconstruction using titanium plates and screws and to be honest with you, it is very expensive.

Let us wait for the opinion of our ortho member/s.

I pray that your son will get well soon !

Fractures of the radius and ulna are almost always treated surgically with metal implants, usually a plate on each bone attached by screws. By this time, the fracture is already about a month post-injury and, if the alignment is not acceptable, unfortunately, the only way to bring it back into alignment is to do what is termed as an open reduction and internal fixation - opening up the fracture site, clearing out the new bone and soft tissue formed over the fracture site until the fracture is visible, place the fracture into its proper alignment, then fix it with the implants. There is no way at this particular point in time after the injury that a good alignment can be achieved by merely manipulating the arm without opening it up and fixing it in a cast. Not in our country nor even in the 1st world. Actually, in the 1st world, they may not even have attempted to cast your son - surgery may have been the automatic option.

Thank you po sa mga replies nyo, i guess we really have no choice but to go through with the surgery... awa lang talaga ko sa son ko but i think talaga ngang kailangan ang surgery with the metal plates and screw... thanks ulet sa lahat... and all opinions are still welcome po... thanks...

sir in my opinion its just a case of strained muscles, or cold nodules....maybe due to your work outs... but its best to consult a sports medicine doctor... or try pt.

I got slightly offended today when I visited a Dermatologist on a health clinic. I was experiencing itchiness for the past few days on my upper back and buttocks so I decided to see a Derma. I didn't know any Derma so I just went to this clinic and was assigned to a young female doctor. When I told her what the problem was she looked at my upper back. However, I mentioned that the itching and rashes were worse on my buttocks so she decided to take a look at it also. However, before doing so she called a male nurse from outside to accompany her while checking it out. I felt slightly offended cause she felt that she needed somebody to be with her as if I am going to harass her. Hindi naman ako manyak (specially kung professionals yung kaharap ko). And there are around 8 more patients on the hallway just outside the door so I would not be able to do anything even if I wanted to.

 

My question is - is it ethical for a female doctor to call a nurse just to "guard" her when inspecting a male patient's buttocks? Considering she is a doctor, she should already be used to seeing butts.

[gift_of_game]

sir, this has become more or less standard procedure in recent years and let us be clear on this---it had a lot more to do with protecting yourself, (the patient) from her (the doctor) than the other way around. we do this just so both parties involved attain a certain level of comfort while the exam is performed.

in your case, I apologize on behalf of my colleague if it offended you but rest assured nothing inappropriate was done at all.

[Bitoy]

Thank you for your response. It gives me some relief now that you say that this has become a standard practice. I did not know. However, a female doctor did the Annual Physical Exam in our company and some of the male staff were assigned to her without anybody else during the exam.

 

I understand the comfort level part of it although a patient might feel more embarassed with more people instead of just the doctor doing the exam. However, I don't understand how such arrangement could be protecting me (patient) instead of her (doctor). Maybe you can enlighten me further. TIA.
