[jecqjecq]

the best thing to do---to alleviate all doubt (by MTC experience )---is to consult your friendly neighborhood OB-GYN.

 

I'd advise against procuring the commercially available pregnancy test kit because:

 

1) while it may conclusively tell you whether or not your gf is pregnant it doesn't answer all your other questions i.e. if she tested negative, why isn't she having her periods? a consult will be necessary since she has been irregular as you said, for like forever. while this may be benign in the big picture (secondary to stress, diet etc.), it would be judicious to rule out any underlying pathology (PCOS, uterine abnormalities, etc.).

 

2) upon consult, an OB-GYN will order the test to be done at her clinic anyway (para maiwasan ang ahem, pandodoktor).

 

and oh, lastly---the withdrawal method doesn't really work that well dude.

so unless you really plan to have a little one running around soon, rubber's your new BFF.

 

 

i think a pregnancy test would be a nice initial remedy just to dispell the patient's anxiety. now if questions still arise after the results, then jecq2 can probably be a gentleman and accompany his gf to an ob-gyn.

 

jecq2, buti nalang naisingit mo na irregular ang cycle ng gf mo. natawa naman ako ng binanggit mong there's nothing to worry about kasi 1 month pa lang siyang delayed. kasi nga sa babaeng regular ang cycle, matagal na ang 1 month.

 

 

Thanks anyway... uhmm... do you know any good ob-gyn? and what does it mean if shes having white mens for a week na?

mga doc.. i have a friend who is experiencing the dizziness and headaches.. but before this parang may ringing sound daw sa tenga nya... nag pa check up sya doctor and the doctor gave a med para daw sa hilo.. we researched the meds and it says for vertigo related dizziness...

 

then we researched for the illness vertigo and read the symptoms.. well most of the symptoms for vertigo was being experienced already.. question is this.. san po ba dapat pa consult for vertigo.. sa EENT or sa neurologist?

 

Hi madhatter

 

I am not a doctor, but I experienced some of the symptoms. I consulted an ENT, a neurologist, an ophthalmologist and even a cardiologist. I was asked to undergo tests at the hospital's hearing and balance center.

Good day, everyone.

 

I occasionally experience really painful lower back pains when I undergo a lot of stressful situations.

This past week, it's happening again, but only when I have nightmares.

 

Is this normal?

Low back pain is a quite a common complaint and a lot of things can cause it ranging from muscle strain or spasms to problems in the the spine such as disc herniation or spinal stenosis. If it is recurring and extremely painful, please have it evaluated by an MD.

ako problema ko rin yan eh, kapag gising ko nang umaga wala ako nararamdaman na sakit, masakit lang siya, kapag matagal akong nakaupo, pero kapag nakaupo ako ok siya, sumasakit doon sa may likod na parteng "puwetan" papunta sa may paa ko o bandang legs........

not normal ! you should wash first what you eat, then remember to brush your teeth and gargle with betadine or any mouthwash after every meal.

 

and if it still recur, have a gram stain of your wife's vagina, maybe a culture and sensitivity too....

Mga docs,

 

Just want to ask medical advice for something im a bit embarrassed to go see my doc for. Ive been having slight pain in my right testicle for a week now. Pain varies, never too excruciating, sometimes very mild that i almost dont notice it but there is still a slight tingling. Its more of a throbbing type. At first i thought it was a kidney stone passing, since ive had several passed already before (but only once did i experience pain in the groin area.. most were at the flank).

 

Did some research and im relieved to find out its not that uncommon. Testicular cancer is unlikely daw bec its usually painless and has a lump.

 

i found this old forum posts where the posters describe almost exactly the same type of sensation i have:

 

http://www.doctorslounge.com/oncology/foru...topic-6187.html

 

a week before i experienced this pain, i had just started trying out a new exercise machine.. a kind of stairmaster contraption, but ive only beed doing it light.. about 100 steps a day. Without a supporter. btw, im in my late 30s and overweight for my height. could this be hernia? but the pain comes and go..

 

would appreciate any advice fr you guys...

 

I do have a urologist (for my kidney stones) but imkinda embarassed to see him about this yet. He'll probably let me do some ultrasounds, etc.

 

COuld this be an infection, like what some of my research says? Now im afraid to have sex w/ my wife.. and we're trying to conceive pa nga actually.

 

Is this a common affliction among men, as one poster in that link said?

 

thanks again for ur time.. and mabuhay kayo mga medical brods here in mtc... marami kayong natutulungan...

SPEZ,

Better see your urologist. He will be in the best situation to deal with your problem. Varicocoele is associated with infertility to some extent. If you have plans of having a baby, better consult with him soo.

cannot really prevent it, stretchmarks literally means marks cause by too much stretching of the skin causing the layers to crack. so prevent the skin from stretching to much "may" reduce the chance of stretchmarks to occur. of course there are other factors involved. :thumbsupsmiley:

Arnold,

 

It could be a condition we call Sciatica wherein the nerves supplying the sciatic nerve are compressed at the root in the spine. It is also quite often seen with patients with bulky wallets at the back pocket. The wallet sometimes compress the nerve at the buttocks area causing pain or sensory deficits. The symptoms are relieved by removing the wallet or shortly after standing, when the pressure over the nerve has been removed.

 

I suggest you consult with any of the following: an orthopedic surgeon, a rehab sprecialist or a neurologist. This condition falls in any of theise specialties.

 

Keep us posted for updates.

Dude, all I can say is is puwede kang mahawaan ng STD kahit sa oral sex. It's always your judgement call.

The quick safe home remedies would depend on the kind and extend of your injuries. It is always best to have them evaluated by an MD as they may require hospital/surgical intervention.
