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.

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.

I'm really confused about my pregnancy test results. I took a Prega News test and there was only one line, but I noticed that the HCG absorbent paper turned pink after about 3 minutes. My period is supposed to start on the 28th of this month. I even took the test yesterday and it came back negative. Does the pink color on the absorbent paper mean there's HCG hormone present?

Check for pregnancy aftre missing regular period for more than a week and visit Obstetrician for appropriate management,those tests could be false positive at times

Why should you not drink tea during menstruation?

All the teas contain some amount of tannic acid which in combination with our food reduces the absorption of iron in the body. So, drinking too much of it during periods may not only lead to malabsorption of iron in the body but may also cause headaches, irritability, insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, nervousness due to the caffeine present in the tea.
