Question 1

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and my recent urine test showed pus cells of 20-25. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it lead to any serious issues?

Accepted Answer

Widal Test Report Interpretation

_Positive Result_:

The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows:

1. _Salmonella Typhi O (1:160)_: Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen.
2. _Salmonella Typhi H (1:40)_: Shows a moderate level of antibodies against Typhi H antigen.

_Impression: Positive (+ve)_

This suggests that you have been exposed to Salmonella Typhi, which could indicate a current or past Typhoid infection.

_Dietary Recommendations_:

During Typhoid infection, it's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods that are easy to digest:

1. _Fluids_: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water.
2. _Bananas_: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium.
3. _Rice_: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach.
4. _Applesauce_: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit.
5. _Lean proteins_: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.
6. _Avoid spicy and fatty foods_: These can exacerbate digestive issues.

Question 2

I'm really worried because I had a small amount of precum on my hand, and I wiped it off. But then, after a few minutes, I used that finger to touch my girlfriend's vagina. We're both virgins, and I'm not sure if this can make her pregnant. Could she be at risk?

Accepted Answer

The chance of pregnancy in this situation is extremely low, especially if there was minimal precum and no ejaculation. However, if you both are still concerned or if her period is delayed, you can take a home pregnancy test after about 2 weeks. For future peace of mind, consider using contraception during any sexual activity to reduce the risk of pregnancy and STIs.

Question 3

My mother is 45 and has been dealing with gynecological issues for the past three years. She had uterus surgery back in 2015 and has been consulting Dr. Shipra Rani and Dr. Hemlata, who are known as the best gynecologists in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. But now they're saying she needs to see a higher specialist outside our area. I'm really worried what could be the issue that they haven't been able to diagnose? Where should we go for better help, and are there any precautions we should take in the meantime?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised for surgeon opinion for further management.

What is the period?

A period is release of blood when uterus lining shreds and passes out into vagina
