Question 1

Sir, I've been dealing with occasional pain in my knee joint, wrist joint, and finger joints for about a year now. Sometimes I even notice swelling in my wrist and finger joints, but it goes away after a while. My blood uric acid level is at 7.4 mgdl, and I make sure to exercise regularly. Could you please suggest a permanent treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

Aapke joints me pain aur swelling ke saath uric acid level high hone ka matlab ho sakta hai ki aapko gout ho. Uric acid control ke liye purine-rich foods (jaise red meat, alcohol, aur seafood) se bachna zaroori hai. Regular exercise ke saath, ek rheumatologist se milkar medication jaise allopurinol ya febuxostat discuss karein.

Tetanus toxoid protection duration:

For adults with incomplete or unknown vaccination history:

- 2-4 doses, given within 2 years (2016-2017), provide protection for approximately 5-10 years.
- Booster shots are recommended every 10 years to maintain immunity.

Consult your doctor for personalized advice and to determine if a booster shot is needed.

Question 3

I'm 27, weigh 72kg, and have a bit of a belly. Could this be why I'm having trouble breathing, even when I'm just sitting? It's definitely different from how I felt before I had the belly.

Accepted Answer

Yes, excess belly fat can sometimes put pressure on your diaphragm, which may lead to breathing difficulties, even while sitting. It can restrict lung expansion and make breathing feel more labored.

Question 4

Got my blood work back, and it turns out my iron levels are on the low side, measuring 41 ugdl when it should be between 60 to 150 ugdl. Should I be worried about this, and what steps can I take to improve it?

Accepted Answer

Low iron levels can lead to anemia and other health issues if left untreated. To treat this, I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets. You can take Ferrous Sulfate tablets. It is important to take it on an empty stomach for better absorption. Also, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and fortified cereals. Additionally, consuming vitamin C-rich foods or supplements can help enhance iron absorption. Regularly follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your iron levels and adjust the treatment as needed.

Question 5

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I had a cerclage done at 20 weeks, and now I'm thinking about heading back to my hometown. The doctor mentioned it might be okay to travel after 28 weeks, but I'm still feeling unsure. I'm considering a long car trip o...

Accepted Answer

Traveling between 28-32 weeks is generally considered safe for most women, but since you have a cervical cerclage, its important to discuss this in detail with your healthcare provider.
If your doctor gives you the go-ahead and you are feeling well, taking necessary precautions during travel (frequent breaks, hydration, proper seatbelt use) should be fine.
Avoid traveling if you're experiencing complications, and always have a backup plan for medical assistance.

Question 6

I'm 19 weeks pregnant and I got my scan report which says that the placenta is on the posterior wall with grade 3 maturity and is covering the internal OS. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer
