Did I have a miscarriage or is it a normal period?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hello,

Im a 25 year old and I had my period which began last Monday and normally lasts around 4 days. by Friday it was completely gone and I only had that small amount of brown blood .. I had severe lower back pain this whole time. period is always painful so didn’t think too much of it, however on Monday I went to the bathroom and there was a bloodclot the size of a pea. It was bright red surrounded by a minimal amount of blood.
I had nausea around my ovulation window and was throwing up for 2 days which I assumed was a stomach bug. I also had extremely swollen breasts which are common to me when my period is coming,, however this time my nipples were sickly sore and my breasts had large blue veins.

does this sound like a miscarriage or just a period?

thank you

Do I really need to get a shot for Yellow Fever?

Do I really need to get a shot for Yellow Fever?
I am travelling to Columbia, South America in early December. In Columbia for about 9 days. I am never at an elevation below 1,411 metres.
Part of one day at 1,411 metres
3 days at 2,640 to 3,000 metres
5 days at 2,500 to 4,500 metres
I am a male, 63 years old in excellent health. I have read the chances of getting Yellow Fever is extremely small and even smaller due to the fact I am mostly at higher elevations. I have no interest in visiting the parts of Africa or South America where Yellow Fever is present in the future.

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Last Saturday, I had sex with my wife. I had orgasm, but did not ejaculate. I have had that problem for several months, I would have orgasm and many times, not ejaculate. However, Sat8urday, after I had orgasm, my wife masturbated me and there was a little ejaculation of sperm. Since that time, I am urinating twice an hour, and feeling immense pressure to urinate. I am currently taking Cipro and Metronidazole (diverticulitis problems in the past) for antibiotics. Been taking both since Last Saturday morning. Nothing is helping as yet.

Hello I did IVF (2 embroys) and I am now almost 4 weeks pregnant (counting from the first day of my last period). My first beta 8 days post 5day transfer was 167, and my second one, 12day post 5day transfer is 1480 – a doubling time of 38 hours. Is this ok? Or does it have to be between 48 hours to 72 hours to be normal? Thank you.

I had a seizure two days in a row, I am prescribed Xanex?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Ok I’ve been prescribed xanex for a few months now and when I ran out I had a seizure two days in a row. Now I haven’t touched them in over a week, I think my body has completely detoxed from the medication. However, I have severe anxiety and am able to refill my script, if I take them every 3 days rather than every day do you think I’ll protect myself from having to deal with seizures or withdrawal from it again? Please help!

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Been having digestive problems for over a year. Constipation or not feeling completely empty after bowel movements. Food sensitivities to soy wheat and diary. Stomach and guts feel inflamed and sore. Anxious feelings and can’t relax. Headaches and head tension. Lacking mental clarity. Lower back pain upon awakening. Tired and lethargic. Almost depressed like feelings because I never feel good. Have tried enzymes, apple cider vinegar with no improvement. Have tried multiple doctors who want to give me anxiety meds instead of diagnosing.

I went out last night and overindulged in the alcohol, I’m afraid I will have a seizure or a stroke?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I went out last night and overindulged in alcohol. I drank way too much. Now it is 16 hours since my last drink and I still feel horrible. I am vomiting and I can’t eat. I’m shaking, heart racing, dizzy and light headed. I also am “seeing stars”. I have shallow breathing and I feel like I could pass out at any moment. Point being I have a horrible hangover. Question is, should I go to the hospital and tell them of my symptoms. I’m afraid I will have a seizure or a stroke or something. I generally do not drink this much so I am worried how I feel.

I have no sensation inside my vagina. I can feel my finger for instance going in but I cannot feel anything pleasurable. My clitoris feels fine upon stimulation, however, I get absolutely no sexual sensation inside my vagina, particularly the G-spot. What is wrong with me, and how do I fix this?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

My big toe nail started to turn purple about 2 weeks ago but it’s just on the right side of my toe nail, no pain and it seems to be on the skin directly around the nail bed and looks as though it’s slightly over the cuticle, do you think it’s serious? I don’t remember hurting the toe itself
