Question 1

I'm really stressed out because I was supposed to get my period around the time of my surgery, but it hasn't happened. I've been worried about the extraction for about a week. Then, I picked up a cough and cold, along with some digestive issues, and had to take a few antibiotics and steroids. I've never missed a period before, and I'm still a virgin, so this is freaking me out a bit. The last time I had my period was around May 15th. Should I be concerned about this delay? What could be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Elevated Total Bilirubin Level (2.9)

_Interpretation and Recommendations_

1. _Mild elevation_: A total bilirubin level of 2.9 is slightly elevated, but still within a relatively mild range.
2. _Possible causes_: Elevated bilirubin can be caused by various factors, such as:
    - Liver dysfunction or inflammation
    - Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown)
    - Bile duct obstruction
    - Medication side effects
3. _Next steps_:
    - _Repeat the test_: To confirm the elevated bilirubin level and rule out laboratory errors.
    - _Liver function tests (LFTs)_: Schedule a follow-up test to assess liver function and identify potential underlying causes.
    - _Medical evaluation_: Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine the best course of action.

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my baby's health after our recent scan. At 12 weeks and 4 days, the NT scan measurement came back as 2.4mm, and the nasal bone is measuring 1.5mm. It's already been 24 hours since the scan, and I'm a bit anxious about whether these measurements are normal or if there's something I should be worried about. Could you please advise on what this could mean and if there are any steps we need to take?

Question 3

I'm just wondering if it's okay to drink milk after having chicken. I'm pregnant and I've heard mixed things about it. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Is it safe for me and the baby?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms your mother is experiencing are concerning and require medical attention.

_Possible Causes_

1. *Phlebitis*: Inflammation of the vein caused by the cannula, which can lead to pain, swelling, and discoloration.
2. *Thrombophlebitis*: A blood clot in the vein, which can cause pain, swelling, and warmth in the affected area.
3. *Infection*: Bacterial infection at the site of the cannula, which can cause pain, swelling, redness, and pus.

_Immediate Action Required_

1. *Consult her doctor*: Reach out to her doctor or the hospital where the cannula was inserted to report the symptoms.
2. *Seek emergency care*: If her doctor is unavailable, consider taking her to the emergency room or urgent care for evaluation and treatment.

_Preliminary Care_

1. *Apply warmth*: Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help reduce pain and swelling.
2. *Elevate the hand*: Elevate her hand above the level of her heart to reduce swelling.
3. *Monitor for worsening symptoms*: Keep a close eye on her symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they worsen.

Is it possible to get pregnant if there's precum or sperm on my hands during fingering? I'm really curious and a bit worried about this.
