hello doctor/s

 

please help me understand why is it that i have fresh blood on my booger and in my nostrils.

here's my circumstance po...

when i was a child i was diagnosed to have primary complex.

my dad (God bless his soul) died of lung cancer and i was his personal nurse for the two years that he was bed-ridden before he passed away.

i have been living for a year in a cold place, paris france to be exact.

i have very low tolerance from the extremely cold weather, my upper back aches terribly when i'm out exposed to the elements even on a 10deg celcius day.

knowing that and to prevent myself from getting ill, i take 1000 mg of ascorbic acid as often as i could especially last winter.

now spring has sprung, but it is still cold out here. mornings are still 0 degrees lowest.

 

the blood on my nostrils first manifested a year ago. i was just a newcomer in france then. it gave me quite a scare because i thought it was mucus which was congesting my nose, but when i tried to gently blow my nose fresh blood came streaming from both nostrils. i raised my head and looked at the ceiling for a few minutes until the bleeding stopped. it eventually stopped. but there were days when i would pick my nose and find clumps of dried blood which i thought were booger(kulangot) but it was all dried solid blood. this went on for about two months.

 

ten months later, today, i see the same blood booger. should i be alarmed? is it possible that i have tuberculosis owing to the fact that i had primary complex as a child and that my dad had lung cancer?

 

if i go to see a doctor (which is so expensive to do in paris - specialists charge 90euors for consultation alone. ooohlala!), what questions should i ask, how should i prepare?

 

thank you for your kindness and time. i hope to hear from you, any of you doctors, soon.

mga doc,i have a problem...last thursday nag start ako mag LBM as in poo ng poo ako ..and my feces are wet..liquid sya...eh i went abroad for 4 days...and in that 4 days nakainom ako ng 10 imodium

ngayon kumikick back ATA ung imodium...constipated naman ako ...anak ng .... so i bought ducolax na tablet...okay ba yun?

instant effect? at gaano katagal ung effect? thanks...my stomachs growling.....

 

tama ka, mukhang masyado ka nga nag imodium. mejo short-acting naman yung imodium so dapat in around 1-2 days balik na sa normal yung dumi mo. Dulcolax pampalambot kasi ng dumi yun, baka mas maganda sa iyo pag motility agent gamitin mo like motilium... you can try taking it three times a day for 2 day and see kung bumalik normal bowel function mo.

Anybody can recommend a place for testing for STDs? Should be discreet, fast, doesn't matter if expensive or not. TIA

hmmm... if blood came out while you cough then that would make me think of some problem in the lung like TB or lung cancer... but if blood would be coming out of your nose, i'm more inclined to think of maybe a vascular lesion or a small tuft of very sensitive blood vessels in your nose... if it continues you probably need to have an ENT check for any such lesions along your nasal area.

you may be sensitive to cold weather, try nasal wash with saline solution (1 glass of water w/ 1 tsp of salt and sodium bicarbonate) then spray it in your nostrils using a syringe or atomizer 3 x a day...... to wash off dried blood inside your nose.... but if no improvement...consult your specialist....

or you can wait until the effect of loperamide wears off, try eating lots of fibers (banana), plenty of fluids. give your bowels a break let it rest for a while....

It is not yet available in the country in the open market. Probably in the black market. Masyadong controversial pa ang drug na ito.

why waste your money for this drug when you can use condom and still enjoy the morning after rather than worry the morning after ? :thumbsdownsmiley:

as the alias of the drug implies, it is supposed to be use the morning after the deed not the days after ! :hypocritesmiley:

question po...

i sprained (rolled in) my ankle six weeks ago.

did R.I.C.E. on the first 24 hours, then i went to the doctor the following day. i had to because this is the worst sprained ankle i had in my whole life... i couldn't even put a little pressure on it.

x-ray was clean and doctor put cast on it after 2 more days. doctor said that the swelling was too much and he wanted it a little smaller before molding the cast on my ankle.

had the cast for less than two weeks because it was irritating me a lot!

 

i can walk properly now and move my ankle in any directions (stretching exercises), but there's still a small bump around my outer ankle.

i wanna start playing basketball or at least jogging again soon. am i good to go? or should i start worrying already? do i need to visit my doctor again?

 

thanks guys!

Well, emergency contraception is often referred to as the "morning after pill(s)". It's entirely different from the "abortion pill" or RU486/Mifeprex.

 

"Plan B" is a form of emergency contraception/"morning after pill" and it contains levonorgestrel. It prevents pregnancy but will not cause an abortion. It's not locally available but other birth control pills in higher doses may be used as emergency contraception.

 

Wrote something about it here. You might find it useful.
