What does it mean if my eosinophil count is at 14? I'm not taking any medication right now and I'm a bit worried if this is something dangerous. Can you help me understand this?

Recurrent Epididymal Cysts

Recurrence

  1. Common phenomenon: Recurrence of epididymal cysts is not uncommon, especially if the underlying cause is not addressed.
  2. Possible reasons: Recurrence may be due to incomplete removal of the cysts, spermatocele, or other underlying conditions.

Treatment Options

  1. Surgical removal: Surgical excision of the cysts is a common treatment approach.
  2. Sclerotherapy: Injecting a sclerosing agent into the cyst to shrink it.
  3. Observation: Monitoring the cysts with regular ultrasound check-ups if they are small and asymptomatic.

Next Steps

  1. Consult a urologist: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss treatment options and determine the best course of action.
  2. Imaging studies: Undergo imaging studies, such as ultrasound, to confirm the diagnosis and assess the size and number of cysts.
  3. Treatment plan: Work with your urologist to develop a personalized treatment plan.

My arm's been hurting since I got blood drawn three times for some tests on January 25th. There's a bit of redness on my skin too. It seemed to be getting better, but I played squash today, and now the pain's back. Can you suggest what I should do?

It seems like your arm might be experiencing irritation or inflammation from the multiple blood draws. I recommend applying a cold compress to reduce swelling and taking over-the-counter pain relief, such as ibuprofen, to alleviate discomfort. If the redness or pain worsens, or if you notice swelling, it would be best to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a 42-year-old guy living in Pune and I've just been told that my platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs. Should I be worried about this? What happens if my platelet count gets even higher? At what point should I start to really worry, like if it goes over 6 lakhs or something like that?

Platelets are blood cells that help with clotting to stop bleeding. A platelet count slightly higher than 5 lakhs is known as thrombocytosis. In some cases, a high platelet count may not cause any symptoms and may be discovered incidentally on a blood test. However, persistently high platelet counts can lead to an increased risk of blood clots. If your platelet count is consistently above 6 lakhs, it may be a cause for concern. It is important to monitor your platelet count regularly and consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. Treatment for high platelet count may involve addressing the underlying condition, such as an infection or inflammation. In your case, since your platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs and you are 42 years old, it is advisable to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management. Regular monitoring of your platelet count and addressing any underlying health issues is important to prevent complications associated with high platelet counts.
