I heard that the WHO has changed their guidelines for the rabies vaccine. It used to need 5 doses, but now I'm not sure what the current recommendation is. Can you shed some light on how many doses are needed now? I'm a bit worried about making sure I follow the right protocol.

Duphaston (Dydrogesterone) is a progesterone medication that can affect menstrual cycles.
Possible Causes of Delayed Periods
- Hormonal imbalance: Duphaston can alter hormonal balances, potentially delaying periods.
- Progesterone's effect: Progesterone can prolong the luteal phase, leading to delayed periods.
- Individual response: Everyone's body reacts differently to medications, and some women may experience delayed periods due to Duphaston.
What to Expect
- Wait a few more days: If you've taken Duphaston for 10 days, wait a few more days to see if your period starts.
- Consult your doctor: If your period doesn't start within the next 7-10 days, consult your doctor to discuss further management.
Remember
- Duphaston is not a contraceptive: It's essential to use contraception to prevent unintended pregnancy.
- Monitor your body: Pay attention to any changes in your body, such as spotting, cramping, or breast tenderness.

View allI'm really worried about something that happened during a recent blood draw. At the private lab, I noticed the seal on the vacutainer needle was already torn before my blood was drawn, and now, a month later, I'm experiencing some unsettling symptoms like severe fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and red spots on my legs. My sore throat has continued, and there's a swollen lymph node near my elbow even after three months. I did an HIV test, the 4th-generation kind, and it came back negative after 8 weeks and 7 days. But I'm still concerned, especially since there was about a 7-minute gap between me and the previous patient. Can HIV be a concern here? Is it possible for vacutainer needles to be reused? I just want to understand if there's something more I should be looking out for.

I've got some redness and pain on the spot where I had a Mantoux Test done about two days ago. The redness has spread to roughly 15 mm. Could this mean something I should be concerned about?
Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I've been having some trouble with swallowing, like it feels weird or painful. So I went to my doctor, and two weeks ago, they did a throat swab and put me on Amoxicillin for a week. But the test results came back, and it turns out I have Staphylococcus Aureus mrsa. I'm a bit worried because I've heard mrsa can be resistant to Amoxicillin. Does this mean I need a different antibiotic now?
Yes if turns out to be resistant you have to switch to other antibiotic which is sensitive.
