Question 1

I have blocked fallopian tubes and PCOS, been married for a year and trying for a baby. The allopathic doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there are other treatments like massage or ways to regulate periods naturally. Can you suggest any alternatives?

Accepted Answer

SX IS ONLY OPTION.

Question 2

I've recently been diagnosed with chlamydia and they prescribed me 500 mg of Azithromycin. I'm 51 years old and weigh 105 lbs. I've been reading that most people are given 1000 mg for treatment. Should I be concerned that I wasn't given the right dosage to cure it? Is this normal or should I reach back out to my doctor?

Accepted Answer

Be rest assured, your doctor prescribed you the dose that you require.
Do not see internet threads. Your doctor knows better.
AZYTHROMYCIN is typically given at 500 mg for adults over 18 yrs... So it's appropriate dose for you.

Question 3

I've been experiencing a lot of pain during sex because there's not enough lubrication, and it makes me really anxious. I'm wondering if using Lox 2 jelly might help. Is it safe, and could it ease the pain I'm feeling? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

understand your concern about the high total blood protein level (8.6) and the potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.

_Hyperparathyroidism and High Calcium_

1. Elevated calcium levels can be a sign of hyperparathyroidism, which your doctor suspects.
2. High calcium levels can also contribute to kidney stone formation, osteoporosis, and other complications.

_High Total Blood Protein_

1. Total protein levels above 8.5 gdL can indicate an underlying condition, such as:
    - Dehydration
    - Liver or kidney disease
    - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
    - Plasma cell dyscrasias (e.g., multiple myeloma)
2. Your doctor's lack of concern might be due to the mild elevation in protein levels or the presence of other symptoms that point more strongly towards hyperparathyroidism.

_Next Steps_

1. _Follow up with the specialist_: Discuss your high calcium levels and potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.
2. _Request a protein electrophoresis test_: This test can help identify the type of protein elevation and its underlying cause.
3. _Monitor your protein levels_: Schedule follow-up appointments to track your protein levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

How many pads a day is normal?

A very rough estimate would be four or five pads, assuming that you're getting at least the recommended 7 hours of sleep at night.
