The veins that pass through my legs hurt so much that I cry at times

I really do not understand exactly what the issue is but if you are having pains along the line of the veins in your legs then it is important you go to present to a doctor physically to examine whats wrong and ascertain the reason why Veins can get inflammed for different reasons The stiffness of yout leg could be due to nerve compression cos of the way you slept adjusting your sleeping position might help I hope you find this useful Thanks

Hi I put to bed about 2 months ago but what i noticed is that my BP has been a bit high since then I checked my bp this morning and it reads 12698 What can be the cause and what can i do

Good Morning BP might be elevated during Pregnancy but it should resolve withing 6weeks of Delivery If your blood pressure is elevated and this is the first time you are noting thos readings i suggest you visit a hospital and check again preferably using a Manual Sphygmomanometer In the meantime these readings are high but the values suggest that they were taken by an automatic machine You can do some dietary and lifestyle modificationReduce salt intake Excercise and maintain a healthy weight I hope this helps

Please i had abortion some months ago and after everything i notice began to smell and it bringing out a yellow dischargeim scared hope im fine

There is a possibility that it might be linked it also might not You could have another infection unrelated to the fact that you had an abortion and this even depends on where you had the abortion The best thing to do is for you to go see a physician for evaluation after which a specific test will be ordered to know whats causing the discharge and the appropriate treatment to be done Please relax and go see a physician

Hi i would just advice that you get the previous one you were using that you found effective since you found it effective just get it again but this time visit any of the big pharamcies around ask for the pharmacist incharge and they will help you make the right decision on a good one that will work or they could help you get the particular one that you used initially which was effective Thanks

I havent seen my period for a month now and im scared im just 17yrs old is there anything i can do apart from going to the hospital

Hi whatever it is you will still need to get to an hospital i want to be sure if you engaged in any sexual intercourse within the one month of missing your period And hope you dont have any breast discharge also If yes kindly get to any pharmacy store and get a PT to be sure if you are pregnant or not if no sexual intercourse you might just need to be calm and expect it will come soon

Pregnancy

One week after sex she says she is pregnant It was an unprotected sex but there was no ejaculation into her Are there chances that the pregnancy isnt by me because it sounded so soon to get pregnant a week after unprotected sex

Hi the first point to make is that at times even when you feel you didnt actually release into a womans vagina you might have done that unknowingly especially by a presemen So its still possible that the pregnancy is yours or not One week isnt too short to get pregnant tho it might be too early for a test to actually be positive for pregnancy another thing to consider is if your partner and you are the only one involved in sexual intercourse Kindly note that you cant reply this message anonymously
