My father is 69 years old and is recovering from a post pneumonia lung infection. He has high blood pressure and diabetes, for which he takes daily medication. We did a blood test, and the report shows, platelets is 5.20 lacs, haemoglobin is 10.8, Serum SGOT is 99.33, Serum SGPT is 57.40, and D Dimer Quantification is 2544.47. What other tests should be done? Is this condition dangerous as the D Dimer is very high along with elevated platelets, SGOT, and SGPT? Last month, his platelets were 2.72 lacs.

Elevated D dimer may indicate ongoing clot risk. Liver enzymes are likely from infection or medications. Needs urgent follow up due to high D dimer.

I have done a semen analysis, and my doctor told me that I am suffering from low sperm count. The normal sperm count is more than 60 million to 120 million with motility 80 percent. My report shows volume 1.5 ml, sperm count 32 million, motility 65 percent, and the highest motility 48 percent.

One year ago, my periods started getting delayed to 35 or 38 days, but not more than that. I consulted a gynecologist who advised me to get a scan. After reviewing the scan report, I was diagnosed with PCOD. I experience pain on the right side when my period comes. The doctor did not prescribe any medication but told me to reduce my weight. I weighed 88 kg before and now I am 74 kg. My periods have become regular, coming every 30 or 31 days, but I am having heavy bleeding with large blood clots, feeling very weak, and experiencing pain on the right side. The heavy flow lasts for 4 to 5 days. Please help me understand what I should do about this problem. I am waiting for your reply.
