Question 1

I've had PV malaria three times this year and each time I took Lariago DS. I can't take PQ though, because my G6PD enzyme levels are on the lower side. Is there any permanent way to get rid of this? I'm really worried it might keep coming back.

Accepted Answer

Given your recurrent Plasmodium vivax (PV) malaria and G6PD deficiency, which prevents you from taking primaquine (PQ), consider consulting a specialist for alternative treatment options, such as a higher dose of chloroquine or a combination of chloroquine and other antimalarial medications, and take preventive measures, including using insecticide-treated bed nets, wearing protective clothing, and applying insect repellents to minimize the risk of future infections.

Question 2

I've gone to the toilet twice in an hour, and both times I've noticed light pink on the tissue. My period isn't due for another 15 days, so I'm a bit worried. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Experiencing light pink discharge on tissue after urinating, not associated with your menstrual period, could be indicative of various conditions, such as urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney stones, vaginal discharge, or hormonal changes; however, it's essential to consult your primary care physician or a gynecologist to rule out any underlying infections or conditions that may require medical attention.

Accepted Answer

minimal haziness and small lymph nodes, especially if not associated with other symptoms, often do not indicate serious problems but should still be monitored.

If you have any chronic symptoms (like a cough, difficulty breathing, fever, or weight loss), or if the doctor suggests any follow-up, its important to follow their advice closely.

Question 6

I'm in my 17th week of pregnancy and starting from my 7th week, I was taking progesterone 200mg. This week, my gynecologist told me to stop taking it, and I'm a bit worried. Is this normal, and could it have any impact on my baby?

Accepted Answer

Stopping progesterone supplementation at 17 weeks is a common practice, as the placenta typically takes over progesterone production by this gestational age; however, it's essential to follow your gynecologist's guidance, as individual circumstances may vary, and abruptly stopping progesterone can increase miscarriage risk in some cases.
