Hello Donia Good morning Sorry to read about your ordeal However a few questions are important to clearly establish what might be wrong with your arm When did the pain start Which of the arms is affected How old are you Are you hypertensive or diabetic What kind of work do you do Are you on any medications Answers to some of these questions can give some clue I suggest that you private chat a doctor for a detailed history and examination In the interim you can take some paracetamol to ease the pain I hope this helps Cheers

0.999997
You can get rid of the excess fat you describe through an individualized plan tailored to a calorie deficit and yes you can achieve that without going to the gym A gym is great but hey not everyone can go there As for your stretch marks many natural foods and oils help with that after consistent application so there is also hope with that

If your average menstrual cycle is 28 days you ovulate around day 14 and your most fertile days are days 12 13 and 14 If your average menstrual cycle is 35 days ovulation happens around day 21 and your most fertile days are days 1920 and 21 Your fertile period which is also known as ovulation period can be identified by the following signs Common Signs that Occur in Most Women Change in cervical fluid the Cervical fluid that resembles egg whites is a sign you are near ovulation or are ovulating Change in basal body temperature Your body temperature suddenly rises around the period Tracking your basal body temperature accurately over a few months can help you predict fertile period Breast tenderness Abdominal bloating Increased sex drive A heightened sense of smell taste or vision You can also go online and use a web based ovulator calculator Regards

Hi Im not sure what you mean by transparency in the figures Do you have a particular reason for doubting the numbers as they are presently Maybe that will be a better way of asking the question However it is obvious that we arent testing as much as we need to in Nigeria considering our population and possible community exposure therefore the numbers will appear lower if compared to countries with higher testing capabilities

Hello my name is Jason Im 16 I slept with prostitute twice on the 8th of February and on the 9th of June I used a condom on every sexual act performed i didnt kiss her or anything and I inspected the vagina of the prostitute she looked clean im planning on going to the brothel next month so I can get the prostitute tested for hiv before I have sex with her again i need help spiritually and mentally helpadvice im young and battling with sexual addiction at this age
101
472
0.999997
Hi Jason You seem to have reached a conclusion on being addicted to sex was this a diagnosis given by a doctor or you only believe that you are addicted to sex based on your urges and cravings Compulsive sexual behaviours will require a detailed conversation with a doctor and subsequently with a sex therapist to provide the diagnosis and treatment options Meanwhile I do not know how easy it will be to ask the lady to go get tested against her will therefore that might be a dead end My advice is that you visit a clinic for voluntary HIV counselling and testing and to continue to practice safe sex if you are unable to abstain completely PS examination of the genitals of a sexual partner hardly ever reveals the HIV status or sexual health of the said partner Cheers

Hi Jason First I would want to congratulate you for opening up and requesting the need to be helped The issue of sexual addiction has to be addressed on several levels The Spiritual level has to be dealt with get to a spiritual leader or a pastor you could confide in and let him help you you should also know that you are not condemned by God for reaching out Healthwise its unhealthy to keep on such sexual lifestyle without restraints because you are at risk of contracting HIV syphilis gonorrhea chlamydia and you stand a risk of penile cancer from HPV infection and several others I would advise Total Abstinence though you might not achieve it at once but let that be your goal You also need to meet a psychologist I know of peoplewho have struggled with the same and have success stories

161
0.999999
Hello you should not apply podophyllin directly to the skin of your penis scrotum its going to cause chemical burns Apple vaseline to the skin surrounding the wart this helps to prevent chemical burns of the surrounding skin Also screen yourself and your partner for HIV infection Warts are caused most times by a virus called human papillomavirus

Can chronic halitosis be cured permarnently
11
44
0.999996
Hello there Also known as mouth odorhalitosis could be an embarassing condition to the sufferer and the diagnosis can be quite tricky to the dentistIt can be classified into True halitosis and Psychogenic halitosisfalse halitosis in which the person just feels he has mouth odor even when nobody has ever told him his mouth was smelling Having said thatthere are a couple of likely causes of true halitosis and these determine the chronicity of the conditionSome of the possible causes include 1Poor oral hygieneA heavy presence of plaque and calculusyellowish to dark colored deposits on the teeth in the mouth will cause mouth odorAlso nonbrushing or improper brushing of the tongue is a major cause of halitosisThe tongue is the largest reservoir of food debris in the mouth hence not brushing the tongue is like not brushing at all 2Diets Frequent concsumption of onionsgarlicbeans and other food which produce Volatile sulphur compoundsVSCThese VSCs play a major role in dietasociated halitosis 3Systemic diseases like Chronic Kidney diseaseGastroesophageal reflux disordersGERD can also cause halitosis Alsohalitosis is associated with eating disorders like Bulimia nervosa where people engage in acts of intentionally inducing vomitting of food ingestedBesides some people engage in the habit of regurgitating ingested food and this could also lead to mouth odor Based on all I have stated abovethe best way to diagnose halitosis would be for you to visit a dentistThe dentist will have to examine your mouth thoroughly and evaluate the possible causes of the halitosis in your case Have you ever had scaling and polishing It is very possible the chronic halitosis in your case is because you have never visited the dentistScaling and polishing is a procedure which is meant to be done every six months at leastand this is a way to clear the cobwebs in our mouthsthe plaque and calculus which I mentioned earlier Best regards

249
0.999998
Hi Bloating is usually caused by excess gas in the stomach due to your diet or based on disturbances in the movement along the digestive system Considering its been present for over a year I doubt its anything too serious However it is important to ask about your dietary history presence of abdominal pain or any other associated symptoms such as duration and frequency of passing gas and bowel movements characteristics of your stool presence of blood in your stool weight loss if its worsened by a particular meal or not etc Meanwhile some way to reduce the associated discomfort in bloating are as follows dont eat large quantity of food at once or gassy foods Also you should visit your doctor to ensure you rule out intolerances or other serious conditions and you can also speak to a doctor privately on Wellvis via the chat button below Cheers

Why blood during sex

0.857141
Hello Good morning Ideally one should not see blood during sex It is not normal However there are a couple of possibilities as to why this can be happening First is there is the possibility of a sexually transmitted infection going on Then it can also be what we call a cervical polyps Most commonly cases of vaginal dryness If there is poor lubrication before penetration it can lead to painful sex bruising and subsequently bleeding Then bleeding can also be due to cervical cancer The person in question needs to have a proper discussion with a doctor investigated thoroughly and treated I hope this helps Cheers

On the 1st of June I decided to have an abortion I was 3 weeks gone after taking the drugs within hours i started bleeding and expelled some clots of blood after expelling the clots the bleeding reduced and was finally gone I have being expecting my 1st period since although i saw online it can take 68 weeks for your period to come On the 24th of June i started bleeding lightly i was happy my period was about coming but it was light and i was seriously cramping The light bleedingSpotting lasted for 4 days I used pant liner during this period and now i dont know if i should take the spotting as my period On the 28th of June I decided to take PT strip test early in the morning and the result came out positive Im confused as i dont know what to do I dont know if am still pregnant or the pregnancy hormone is still inside my bodyurine
177

0.999996
Hello Good morning I suggest that you go for a blood pregnancy test which is usually more informative and reliable than the urine test Most importantly you should do a pelvic ultrasound scan This will reveal if there is any retained products or a live gestational sac Bear in mind that even after an abortion or termination of pregnancy the pregnancy test will still be positive even after a week or two You can chat a doctor privately with the results of your tests I hope this helps Cheers

Hello Sorry about that Any period that lasts beyond the normal days is abnormal The fact that you dont feel pain doesnt mean you should ignore it Something sinister may just be going on in there It is also possible that youre hormones are at an abnormal level The fact that you are also losing blood without replacement calls for concern It would help if you find out the cause of the bleeding by visiting a gynaecologist who will examine you and order some tests for you in order to determine the cause and definite treatment It may just be urgent Hope this helps

Pls how can a 20years old stop bedwetting

41
0.999995
Hi Im going to ask you some follow up questions to have a better understanding of whats going on Have they ever been bed wetting or did they have a period of dryness then began to bedwet again Are they on medication for any condition During the day do they contain themselves well Its important to see a doctor so as to have them examined and if need be run some tests to exclude the possibility of infections and other underlying conditions that might lead to the bedwetting Meanwhile keep an otimistic attitude and motivate them Dont let them feel bad about it or punish them Encourage them to void when they wake up every few hours say 2hrs and discourage them from holding urine to the last minute They should drink just enough fluids throughout the day so as to maintain adequate hydration as well as not feel thirsty in the evening which could lead them to drink excessive amounts before bed and bedwetting Take them to the washroom before bedtime If after 3 months these measures dont result in dryness medication or using an alarm at night will help Thanks

My baby of 1yr 3monthd has a squint The opthamologist we saw has been checking him doing tests but hasnt given him any drug or eye drop Can squint be treated
40
157
0.999996
Hello there Sorry about baby It was a good call to have him reviewed by an ophalmologist as the treatment will depend on what is discovered during the assessment of the affected eyes as well as tests done If the squint is of sudden onset it could point to causes like a recent disease process eg infections A longstanding squint could be as a result of eg developmental abnormalities of the eye muscles and its nerves or diseases that weaken the eye muscles among others The ophthalmologist therefore has to assess the babys vision to see if its reduced or not his eye movements to assess the strength of the eye muscles and to even check the inside of the eye by use of an instrument Now the treatment will depend on whats discovered If there is an underlying disease causing the squint whether inside the eye or not it is the disease that will be treated If he has decreased vision in the affected eyes that will be corrected too There is also role for surgery which aims to improve cosmetic appearance and to tighten or loosen the eye muscles Hope this helps

Hi Olawale This is a legitimate concern however we are unable to know exactly what is wrong without more information and preferably some tests My advice is that you get some basic tests at the lab such as a malaria parasite test Meanwhile have you checked your blood pressure lately are you under any new kind of stress are you eating well and staying hydrated are you sleeping well any similar occurence in the past do you wear glasses and have you recently visited your optician or changed your glasses on a scale of 1 10 how would you rate the pain and what do you do when its most severe how do you relieve it are you on any routine medication and quite important to ask during this time have you been exposed to someone who has been confirmed COVID19 positive or do you have any other symptoms check httpsselfassessmentncdcgovng You can speak directly to a doctor here on Wellvis to give answers to these questions and more while being advised on the next best step to take to prevent worsening and provide treatment Cheers

Hi Eric One of the first things to consider is if this happens with a particular soap you use or with all soaps If it happens with a particular soap best approach will be to stop that particular soap and use something else Also some soaps are harsh and you might be better served using milder soaps like regular toilet soaps If this happens with all soaps then you might reconsider the water you use especially if it is a recent event The bottomline is for you to try to be sure of what triggers or triggered the itch and do your best to avoid it Regards

Hi Thanks for using Wellvis Periods on average vary between 3 5 days in most people anything within that period should not cause any concern It is also worthy to note that once in a while it might fluctuate and go higher or lower it doesnt mean that something is wrong it just so happens that way for unexplained reasons One will worry if the bleeding goes beyond a week or there is an unusual pain or its unusually heavier than it is in previous times Take care

COVID-19
Hi I dont know if its paranoia but I still need to ask Is it possible to experience loss of smell without noticing Is it also possible to have loss of smell without loss of taste Okay so I have chest pain and cough a while back but its all cleared up now Then I concluded in my mind that even if it was Covid as long as Im fine now after 14days everything is okay but then I read an article yesterday about how Covid 19 can lead to brain complications and how the olfactory route can be a channel for the virus to get into the brainHyposmia Then I started trying to track my days of being sick if I remember smelling I remember smelling a lot of things but I cant remember which day I smelt this different things It started on Sunday and I remember smelling somethings until Tuesday morning I couldnt remember anything about Wednesday or Thursday but I remember smelling on Friday I cant also remember for Saturday but I know I smelt on Sunday too like that sha So now my question is that is it possible for my loss of smell to be disappearing periodically within that 14 days Also if your loss of smell is gone it has to do with the nerves there right How long would it take for the smell to come back Naturally I know I smelt a lot of things o and Im its very much possible I smelt on the days I cant remember too because I was eating well and I didnt experience loss of taste but Im just scared I remember washing my hand with soap a couple of times and I could smell it perfectly but I just dont know which days I did Lastly if the virus now finds it self to the brain is it possible to have brain complications without noticing Is it also possible to have brain complications weeks after full recovery I know my question is really long but Im just really worried and Ill appreciate a well detailed explanationresponse Thank you so much

Im a martial arts student for a couple of years now However in January of this year I fell in training and twisted my left knee The pain was sharp and I couldnt even stretch my leg for about 15 mins The pains subsided and I visited the hospital where did doctor said since I could put some weight on the leg there is no cause for alarm Afterwards I noticed the pain was persistent and sometimes my knee buckled resulting into falling a number of times I returned to the hospital and I was placed on Arthocare and healbatic for six weeks It has been almost two months since I have completed the drugs but my knee still hurts Sometimes just standing up is painful What can I do

Hi I would advise that you for now avoid bearing weight on that knee You should also go to see a doctor again to have it evaluated having an xray done for the knee will be helpful to know what going in there Most significantly avoid stressing it or doing any exercise or activity that will it will worsen the knee Regards

Hi Whew it is indeed a long and detailed question So heres the thingthere are still quite a lot of things not known about COVID however its unlikely you couldnt smell without noticing it especially of you didnt notice any change in your sense of taste Meanwhile these complications as you have mentioned are not the most common ones therefore arent very common Its possible for one to get stressed over ones exposure or about a lot of these nondescript complaints Brain complications is very vague and although neurological symptoms from COVID exist they are usually in the form of headaches confusion and less commonly stokes My advice really to you is to stop worrying about unlikely brain complications of a disease you dont even know for a fact if your havehad however ensure you continue to wear a mask when out in the public practice social distancing and maintain hand hygiene Cheers

I always have to clear my throat Please what is the cause and what can I do Im tired of clearing my throat every second
25

0.999999
Hi Some of the most common reasons for frequently clearing the throat include laryngopharyngeal reflux usually when stomach contents travel upwards causing a discomfort in the throat or allergies Sometimes it could just be due to a tic which is an uncontrollable reaction More questions need to be asked about your weight age gender dietary and past medical history to be able to pinpoint and rule out possible causes Cheers

Hello there If a woman menstruates then it means there was actually no pregnancy Im assuming the blood flow was actually her menses here The best way to determine if she is pregnant is a pregnancy test You can get the kit at any local pharmacy around you I hope this helps
