Question 1

My mother is 51 years old and has been experiencing heavy bleeding for more than 20 days. The heavy bleeding was temporarily controlled with Tranostat tablets prescribed by the doctor, but the bleeding does not stop completely within 7 days, and when it does stop, her next period starts again within 3 weeks. Her haemoglobin level is 9.2, and her weight is 58 kg. Uterus scan and thyroid tests showed no abnormalities. What should be done further to stop this bleeding? The doctor mentioned that D and C may not help in stopping the bleeding, but they can be done if needed. Is a hysterectomy (removing the uterus) the only option?

Question 2

My father has easily bruising skin during a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report which shows a low platelet count that may indicate a purpura like condition.

Question 3

My mother has been experiencing a fever of around 99.5 every evening for the past week. We have done blood and urine tests, and the reports came back normal.

There is a remark for eosinophilia in my blood report. Do I need to take treatment for it or should I ignore it?

Mild eosinophilia can be due to allergies or minor infections. If you are symptom free, no treatment needed. If you have itching, cough, or sinus symptoms, consult your doctor.
