question:I have taken a pregnancy test 5 days ago said I was positive I did not have my period for the whole month of feb. now I have been experience some bleeding/spotting I have had two ceaserons I think pregnant about 1 month and got sent home from work to rest I am 29yrs old and it has only been happening when I urinate so far
answer:hallow Dear,Any amount of bleeding during any stage of pregnancy should not be taken lightly. It may indicate unwanted conditions like abortion, ectopic pregnancy, etc.; or may be even just a false alarm. Ultrasonography will inform you whether there is any risk to the baby or pregnancy resulting in bleeding. Please report to your Obstetrician ASAP. Till that please take complete bed rest. Probably, if the baby's heart beats are seen, you may be put on some Progesterone preparation which helps to stabilize the pregnancy. I hope this helps you. Dr. Nishikant
question:Hii i was due to give birth on the 5th of april but still no sign went to hospial and they told me i was 3 to 4 cm in slow labour then woke up this morning and there was a wet patch on my bed and water in my knickers is this my waters broke or what do i do please help got some tummy ache too
answer:Hi there,Yes you are in labour now, once the bag of water situated around the baby ruptures, labour is imminent and you should go to the hospital immediately.The tummy ache is going to increase as the labour progresses and it is likely that you will deliver soon.So please get to a hospital immediately, as sometimes after rupture of membranes the baby may require monitoring and labour progress rapidly.It is common to not be in labour on the due date and 90% of women deliver within 10 days after the due date.Do do not worry and get to a hospital .Hope this helps.Regards.
question:Hello doctor, I am ubendran and married. My wife last period happened on 15th March 2010. She has not got her period this month. We have self tested using pregnancy test kit and the result is positive. She is continuously vomiting whatever she intakes. On which day i have to consult doctor? After 45th day of her Pregnancy? Kindly suggest
answer:Hello dear,I understand your concern.The vomitings are one of the common symptoms of pregnancy.It is usually present till 12 weeks and sometimes till 20 weeks.I would like you to consult doctor sooner because you need to take folic acid vitamin supplements right from the start of pregnancy.As she has vomitings medicines to decrease the vomitings are also needed.Because continuous vomitings will make her weak and nutritional deprivation for her and also fetus.But nothing to worry.The vomitings are usually controlled by medicines.So I suggest you to see the doctor as soon as possible.I would like to tell you to avoid any type of physical stress and also intercourse during the early pregnancy upto 12 weeks.And adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day,fruit juices,coconut water,healthy nutritional diet including fruits and veggies,milk etc need to be taken.Have a happy pregnancy.Hope this helps.Best regards...
question:Hello Sir, I m 36 yrs male, I suffering through penis problem from last one yrs similar to given in quote and in last month I had herpes on my right thigh and buttocks but my doctor - skin specialists, was not aware of my Penis problem. Painful blisters or scabs on the penis A cluster of painful or itchy red spots and small blisters on the penis may be a sign of genital herpes. Typically, the pain or itching comes first, followed a day or two later by the appearance of blisters. Herpes sores may also appear on the scrotum, thighs and buttocks. Now I m almost recovered from herpes but from last 1yr I m suffering with the above similar problem, Whenever I had sex with my wife we both had infections so we use skin onitment cream it relifs for 1 or 2 day but same happens again. Pls suggest me where I can see Doctors in Pune Aundh Area. Thanks.
answer:Hello, It may be due to folliculitis of the penis. We have to rule out conditions like penile herpes etc. As a first line management you can apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin after cleaning with soap and water: If lesion persists better to consult a urologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
question:hello my name is jade i am 18 i have a daughter who is 13months i have some sign of pregnecy i went to the doctor and they siad i was but dont no how fair gone i am i have to what for a scan 1.my wee hurts but dont have a wee infection 2.my have disscharge coming out of my belly button 3.i am having sharp pain going trough my belly button like pulling pains 4.and i keep getting little kicks in my belly could it be the baby or could it be mussels please help me as i am scared thanks
answer:Hello dear,I understand your concern.The accurate age of pregnancy can be known by ultrasound if the actual dates are not available.Here are the answers for your questions:-1)The discharge and pain through belly button could be due to infection.So you might need any topical or oral medicines.2)The fetal movements are perceived around 18 weeks.As it is your second time it can be easily differentiated from the muscle cramps.The muscle cramps are painful and fetal movements are not painful.3)And once the ultrasound is done you can know the accurate gestational age and it helps us to know if they are movements or muscle cramps.4)The pain in vagina without infection might be non specific.It will subside.If pain is severe take panadol.And avoid intercourse.Hope this helps.Best regards...
question:hello, i wanted to ask if i should be concerned of this itch i had on me outer ear. it was a little ithchy only when i touched it and it hurt a little. today i scratch it by mistake and some white yellow thing came out. like the thing that comesout of your pimple. it was a little bit. then some clear liquid came out with a blood. i am pregnant just letting you know if it may help.
answer:Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the pain and pus discharge admixed with blood suggests infection.Yes it can be treated by either topical antibacterial or oral antibiotics.Nothing to worry.Because the medicines which can be given during pregnancy are only prescribed.Do not apply pressure and express the pus because this might lead to spread of infection.Mild infection might subside with topical medicines but if the infection is more oral antibiotics are required.So I suggest you to consult ENT doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment.It will subside with adequate treatment.Hope this helps.Best regards...
