I just found out that I am pregnant. I have calculated that I am currently four weeks pregnant, however in the last 3 weeks I have taken the morning after pill twice. I have also taken a 7-day course of 50mg fluconazole oral tablets.
Would there be any adverse effects on the fetus due to the medication I have taken?
Thank You
My mother is 91 and lives in Aged Care. She is wheelchair bound and cannot walk by herself at all. Two days ago a locum advised that she has Cellulitis in her leg and started her on a course of antibiotics. Today her regular doctor advised that he thinks it might be DVT instead as the swelling goes from her groin to her ankle. He advised that we could do a test to check if it is DVT but there is no point if we are not prepared to put her on anti-coagulants. I have done some googling and there seems to be differing opinions about giving anti-coagulants to the elderly. I am looking for a second opinion as this is a very difficult decision for me to make.
I am a 70 year old man and I was circumcised about two years ago. I think my urologist did a poor job. Since the surgery I have had constant itching around the head of my penis. The itching is s bad that I can bear the pain caused by rubbing it raw more than I can bear the itching. My MD prescribed a steroidal cream that I used for about a year but that didn’t really help ether. I use Vaseline intensive care but it really doesn’t help. I moved and no longer have a doctor available. Is there anything I can do to stop this unbearable itching?
My question is i have trouble ejaculating during sex…been single 18mths but was a problem with ex girlfriend intermittently.I have had semen checked and basically was told I have a low sperm count and may have trouble getting someone pregnant.I have varicoceles in both testes which im guessing doesnt help.
My gp gave me prescription for a testosterone injection which lasted a few months and did increase my sex drive
I am able to ejaculate through masturbation (once or twice a week) with little difficulty with the assistance of porn..lol
I think part of the problem is mental..fear of not ejaculating
Been with plenty of partners since being single but this problem doesn’t help
Id love to father a child but maybe am reluctant to get in a relationship with this problem
I know I could go to a fertility clinic but it is difficult and embarrassing to talk about,I know there is an operation for varicocels which may help but sounds painful
I don’t have trouble getting girls but am a bit fussy,and time is running out to be a dad..Any advice much appreciated
I also read about “death grip syndrome” masturbation which could be a factor in my problem?
I’m a 43yr old single male..87kg 179cm

I am a 25 year old female 1st year medical student, I have had throbbing pain under my 8th -10th left ribs that can fluctuates to unnoticeable to an 8. At the mid axillary line and seems to radiate towards the back and the front. I think it is worse in the evening. I have had the pain for 3 months originally it was accompanied by skeletal muscular pain near my scapula, which has since gone away since using a heating pad. The rib pain is worse when I am seated upright cross legged and is relieved by relaxed inhalation. Made worse by both forced inhalation and exhalation. The pain started off feeling like a stitch that wouldn’t go away and has shifted to more throbbing. I tried rubbing it out thinking it is just skeletal muscle pain just is an atypical location, I tried rubbing it out and all I ended up with was a bruise. I take Effexor (150mg) (been on it approx 4 months) for depression and vyvanse for add (on approx 5 years), I also have mirena (IUD). I am getting dizzy when i stand up and in the morning if I get out of bed to quickly I will make it a few steps before I need to sit down I will start getting dark spots in my vision. I had my blood pressure taken a month or so ago its was 112/84. I am worried that it might be something with my kidney or spleen or plura and hoping it is just med student idice acting up.

I am a 66 yr. old woman. My left leg is swollen just above the knee to the foot. It is almost 3 times the size of the right leg. It is very red, hot to the touch. I have a knee replacement almost 3 yrs. old. Do I need to see a doctor. I have been off it a good bit but resting and elevating it has not helped.
I’m a 32 years old male from Sri Lanka. I had a perfect vision until I suddenly developed a double vision when i was on a Europe trip. This happened on the 17th of April 2017. I had a severe headache by around the 14th and I took paracetamol. I noticed a change of focus on my left eye sight corner with the headache. I rested well thinking this is for tiredness. On the 17th morning when I woke up I had developed double vision. I have to close one eye to have a clear vision. Checked with eye specialists in Paris and they said my eye pressure is normal and nothing wrong with the vision (as i could see clearly with one eye closed) and no change in structure. Within a week people started noticing a squint too. I came back to Sri Lanka only on the 1st of May. Consulted Neuro specialists and Eye specialists. They did many tests including MRI, sugar, thyroid, cholesterol, ANA, chest x Ray etc and all reports were normal. The eye pictures were also normal. Hess test showed that there is a problem with the focus and that there is quite a noticeable squint. As all reports are normal doctors cannot diagnose what’s wrong with me. They advised me to just stay like this and it will go off. I’m on medixone for the last two weeks. But I don’t see any improvement in my double vision condition or the squint. I get the headache too on and off. And my left eye vision is now slightly blurred. Please let me know doctor what this condition is and what treatment is available? Looking forward to hear from you as I’m really in a helpless situation with no hope here for a quick recovery.
My son will be 7 in a few weeks. The past 2 years he has been experiencing leg pain. It originally started out with transient synovitis. He has had 4 x-rays and 1 blood test and 1 ultra sound in the past 2 years and nothing shows up. He is constantly complaining. His left leg sometimes gives out on him when he is just walking. He does not have a limp or any swelling or redness.
I am getting really frustrated because we are not getting any answers and he’s suffering.

Hi a registered nurse here from the Philippines. I just want a clarification regarding intravenous access on the abdominal wall vein. We have this patient who’s veins on upper and lower extremities are no longer accessible due to multiple peripheral insertion. The patient needed intravenous access for her IV meds. Abdominal wall vein was used as an access. Is it allowed for a nurse to access an intravenous site on the abdominal wall vein? What are the complications of abdominal intravenous access? Thank you. Your response is highly appreciated.

My Dad is having difficulty breathing as a result of heart failure and 250mcg of digoxin as prescribed by a Nigerian doctor at the hospital is administered to him daily. He is an adult of 84 years, and now he is having a total dehydration of the body(skin) and if one touches him he feels pains. Also, if we discontinue giving him the prescription dosage, he complains of difficulty in breathing. We have done series medical test upon test to determine exactly what is affecting him before the doctor gave that prescription.. Kindly let me know what we can do to help him.
