Hello Good afternoon Sorry about your worries You might want to communicate with your partner There is what we call the start and stop where if you are almost at the point of ejaculation you slow down and then continue later you can take your mind off it and see what happens Then Kegel exercises for males can be helpful if these do not work i suggest you see a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment

Hello When was the last time you got tested My advise is that you get tested again and based on the results the next line of action will be discussed Also knowing that you might still have hepatitis you need to stop exposing your sexual partners to it until you status is confirmed Usually mild cases often clears up on its own while chronic cases require long term medication You will need to speak to a physician who may or may not refer you to gastroenterologist the specialist who treats such conditions Should you require more information on seeing a doctor you can contact us via httpswellvisorgcontact_us and someone will be in touch shortly

Hello Good afternoon I dont quite get your question Wen we about dominancy in hepatitis it refers to a condition where someone can be infected with both viruses B and C but one of them is more dominant in the system and suppresses the other As regards the symptoms of hepatitis they are pretty much the same Jaundice Your skin or the whites of the eyes turn yellow and your pee turns brown or orange Lightcolored poop Fever Fatigue that persists for weeks or months Stomach trouble like loss of appetite nausea and vomiting Belly pain However it is good to know that all these symptoms may not be present at the same time if you see any one especially the jaundice please go and see the doctor I hope this helps

Hello I would like to know how long hepatitis B vaccine last I finished my first course in 2008 and in March when I ran a profile It showed the vaccine wasnt as active I was told by some health providers to take one dose of booster shot Another says the whole 3 I would like to know which I should go for as my spouse is positive We have been married for 4yrs Thank you
89

0.999997
Booster doses of hepatitis B vaccine extends the effectiveness of the vaccine They are usually not recommended for most healthy people but the need for booster doses is determined by a certain blood test that looks for hepatitis B surface antibody However on account of the positive status of spouse and the results of your serology test profile you should get a booster dose The dose will be determined by your doctor and the level of the antiHBs in your profile Please note that booster dose of hepatitis B vaccine is not harmful

Hello Mark I do not completely understand your question However I will use this opportunity to talk about STIs and I hope I address your concern Sexually transmitted infections STIs are infections that can be caught or passed on when you have UNPROTECTED sex or close sexual contact with another person who already has an STI Using a condom during sex is the best way to avoid STIs including HIV if you cannot abstain Also reducing the number of sexual partners also means youre less likely to get infected If you suspect you have an STIs please go and see a doctor because symptoms vary from person to person and if you have been diagnosed with an STI let your sexual partners know and encourage them to get tested and treated too There are many different STIs and there are many signs and symptoms that mean you may have gotten one but sometimes there are no signs at all When STIs do produce symptoms they usually develop around the penis or vagina Your sexual partners may also experience symptoms Generally the symptoms of STIs can include  unusual andor smelly discharge from the penis vagina or anus pain during urination sores blisters ulcers warts or rashes in the genital area pain in the scrotum or testicles lumps and bumps on the genitals You can visit a General Hospital around you for check up and treatment

Hi Pregnancy is a delicate period for both mother and child and great care must be taken in this period to ensure optimal safety of both mother and child This stresses the importance of antenatal care which I hope you have been receiving The plus with antenatal care is the individualised care you receive from your doctor Without knowing the particulars of your pregnancy it might be counterproductive to seek for extra advice besides your primary physician Please kindly raise this issue with the doctor at the facility you are receiving your antenatal care from who will be in a much better position to advice you Kind regards

Hi i have had a small lump on the side of my right neck for a while i had it checked out and i was told it was Staph these are the symptoms i have noticed so far From time to time i feel a kind of pounding on different areas of my body just under my skin like a bug i see the movement going up and down when this happens in a part where my eyes could reach the best way i can explain this is like when Tom swallows something of irregular shape and you can see the shape of the object going down his body from Tom and Jerry cartoon but the thing under my skin is mot moving at the particular moment it is just in one place pounding after a few minutes it stops and the after a couple weeks it appears in another part of my body just under my skin and the same happens I have experienced this since as far back as 2013 that is as far as i can remember but the lump just appeared I dont feel pain at all but i feel a slight obstruction the first time i swallow when eating and then there is the whitish sperm like liquid after the first string of pee when i am in the toilet My question is thisis the diagnosis right

Hello You will benefit significantly from having a medical doctor examine this pulsating lump that disappears and reappears on various parts of your body Without a physical examination and answers to questions like does it increase in size and about its consistency etc Im unable to categorically speak on what it might be or how to go about treatingmanaging it I would however state outrightly that it is not staph As regards the whitish discharge from your penis are there other symptoms does this happen every time you pee or just occasionally Please note that discharge from the penis is a common symptom of many sexually transmitted infections STIs such as gonorrhea other things can cause it as well and although most of them arent too serious they still require some tests to confirm diagnosis followed by medical treatment

What other symptoms do you have Pain in your sides Do you have a family history of kidney stones or any other kidney diseases Are you on any medication and has this happened before Having blood in your urine is known medically as hematuria it can be a sign that something is wrong with your kidneys or another part of your urinary tract Based on the associated penis itch I think you might have a Sexually Transmitted Infection Other possible diagnosis are Urinary tract infections kidney infections or stone Depending on your age it might also be due to an enlarged prostate A blow or other injury to your kidneys from an accident or contact sports or strenuous exercise can also cause visible blood in your urine Without physical examination and lab tests I am unable to give an accurate diagnosis You will benefit from visiting a doctor who will examine you to find the exact cause and subsequently treat you based on the findings

I dont know why you have asked this question but I might wager that it has something to do with the sexual experience being painful I would advise that you get lubricating creams that have pain killing properties to make the experience more enjoyable or bearable Also this pain might not be just physical so you should consider seeing a sex therapist who can help you understand the root cause and outline a possible means of tackling it If you do opt to see a sex therapist kindly use the contact us button in the menu and Wellvis can help you arrange one Thanks

Hi Loratidine is a pregnancy category B May be acceptable Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk Antihistamine exposure in first trimester not reported to be associated with increased risk of malformations animal studies not reported there are no controlled data in human pregnancy only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk Henceits advisable that you see the doctor at your antenatal clinic for proper evaluation

Hi I am sorry about your experience The menses is usually prone to fluctuations for different reasons which include diet drugs state of mind change in body weight etc Any of these could cause the changes in your menses Also when one gets close to menopause there are possibilities of this occurring before the menses ceases finally I dont know your age and if this applies in your case Id just advice that if it gets you too worried at this stage you should arrange to see a gynaecologist to exclude anything inimical as the cause but I do think its a fluctuation that do occur and at times you will not even be able to trace the cause Relax and go about your life it should return to normal Thanks

Dear Sir I will advise that you go do an HIV test to be sure of your status rather than try to worry yourself about using your symptoms to deduce a lot of things can cause the symptoms you mentioned I also think its not appropriate for you to have had sex with someone else without protection while your sores had not completely healed you stand a higher chance of getting infected with STIs and also passing the one you have to the other person Its not a good move from you at all Kindly get tested and if possible let your partner also get tested When you use protection during sex your protect the other person and yourself too Thanks

Hello I have two questions a 23 weeks ago I felt a sharp pain in the upper right side of my stomach near my navel and after some minutes which felt really long because of the excruciating pain it subsided Didnt feel any other thing until two days later And then one morning as I made to stand from the bed I had to double over on my knees in pain It felt really bad and scary Couldnt move for almost five minutes but I did eventually I have felt that pain sometimes while going home from work and it always goes after some minutes At some point I felt a dull pain in the middle of my back too left side Should I be worried I havent felt it in days now b My entire family had hives when I was a child and after extensive treatment it went away We realised it was because of peanuts and we stopped eating it I felt it was the roasted peanuts and not the raw or boiled one so I still ate those once in a while But 3 months ago I ate the roasted variety with popcorn for the first time in years and I kept taking it as my midday snack for 2 weeks straight Next thing I knew my body started itching and I had welts I have since stopped eating it and I thought it would go but it comes almost every day and especially when there is the slightest heat or I wear longsleeved clothes Please how do I get this to stop

Hi Enoch Im glad you already know that nutrition as well as lifting weights play significant and complimentary roles in bulking and gaining muscle mass However I would also like to remind you that it is a lifestyle as it involves both the time you spend in and outside the gym You will benefit from exercising regularly and eating wellplanned diets The whole process of bulking up increasing muscle mass and cutting reducing body fat is a detailed one and requires real commitment We are yet to sign up fitness experts on the platform but we hope to eventually get a few in the coming weeks so keep checking for comments In the meantime I can tell you some groups of food to pay eat more of and those to avoid to help increase your muscle mass and eventual strength at the gym Foods to eat more of Beans rice moinmoin swallows such as eba amala and co are usually good during the bulking season Oatmeal makes really great breakfast Bread cereal crackers popcorn fruits oranges apples bananas grapes pears watermelon Potatoes yams corn green peas Vegetables and nuts too You should limit alcohol and processed sugars or deep fried foods You might also consider supplements such as whey protein creatine and caffeine which decreases fatigue and allows you to work harder Speak to your trainer and the gym and do some research too There are a lot of Instagram accounts that document their journeys and provide answers to questions like these you should check them out too Good luck with the bulking

What are the chances of getting pregnant if the condom slips inside the vagina during sex three days after period
20
113
0.999996
Hi with respect to its role as a contraceptive a condom acts like a barrier It keeps the sperm from getting into the Vagina Anything that happens that allows that sperm to get into the vagina can result into a pregnancy So if the condom slips while there is sperm inside and it pours into the Vagina then pregnancy could occur The chances of you getting pregnant if you have sex 3 days after your period are low but it is very possible especially if for example you ovulate early also note that the sperm can survive for up to 5 days after being released into the body Low risk of pregnancy but likely To prevent slippage of condom in the future ensure adequate lubrication you can get water based lubcricant at pharamcies If slippage happens try to use morning after pills to reduce the chances

How do I permanently treat vaginal yeast infection I Keep having recurrences
15

0.999995
One of the commonest cause of this is poor hygiene So a way to prevent recurrence is to improve on your hygiene around your privates Change your undies as frequently as possible avoid wearing tight fitting undies in this case and preferably ones that allow ventilation around the area Also do not wash the area with antiseptic soap or Dettol use just water to wash or baby soap if any dont douche A combination of these will prevent recurrence Thanks

Hello I need help I have been having premature ejaculation in recent times Even while smooching I dont get erection after the first round for like 30mins after What can i do
36

0.999997
Hi I believe 30 mins falls within the average duration of the refractory period This is the period after ejaculation in which the penis becomes softflaccid again and goes through a rest During the refractory period a man most times cannot get aroused as his body does not respond to sexual stimulation and he is unable to get an erection within this period I personally do not see the reason for worry considering this is a normal occurrence As regards premature ejaculation you can read more questions and corresponding replies on it here httpswellvisorgfeedsview260 httpswellvisorgfeedsview258

So sorry about you not being able to wear what pleases you I presume that the past insect bite has healed with some degree of hyperpigmentation darker spots than the other areas of the skin Bleaching is not so advisable except it is being done by a dermatologist Acclaimed spot removal creams are bleaching cream so please stop them if you have been using them I would recommend you do nothing However there might be a need to review the current body cream you are using It may be responsible for the current condition your skin is in the first place Finally id want you to see a dermatologist who will examine your skin and the spots lesions There may be more than meet the eye Hope you find this helpful

Hello Sounds like a case of easy exhaustion which can be due to a number of things such as anaemia mental health disorders and chronic fatigue syndrome which can only be diagnosed after all the other causes have been ruled out What other symptoms do you have Whats your eating habits and nutrition like Any kind of stressors Are you male or female Are there issues with your ability to concentrate or pay attention What about short term memory Are there associated body pains or tenderness Where you ill before you started feeling constantly fatigued Finding the underlying cause will require ruling out a number of causes until the reason is identified or ruled out and this means a number of tests However the doctor has to rule out anaemia check out your thyroid liver and kidney functions etc Following the results of those tests the doctor will be able to know the line of action to take Meanwhile try to reduce physical and emotional stress you can start yoga if possible and gradual exercise programs with a physiotherapist will also help with the back pain The doctor might also refer you to a behavioural therapist if no exact cause is found Do not abuse sleeping medications as they often do not help in such cases

In addition to what my colleague saidthe commonest cause of bleeding gums remain plaque and calculus accumulation These are tooth deposits which may cover the gums surrounding the teeth causing persistent irritation of the gums hence such affected gums commonly bleed on brushingThe ultimate solution is to visit any nearby dentist Such a dentist will perform a procedure called SCALING AND POLISHING This helps make the teeth color whiter and ameliorates the bleeding gums conditionThe procedure is to be done every 6months anywhere you are in the world PSThe loss of your tooth during childhood is not related to your gum condition Best regards

It is known that there could be funny sounds coming from the female genital area during sex These sounds are however normal because they are as a result of small pockets of air carried in and sealed during penetration and forcefully released They may come as farting sounds I would suggest that if it makes you both uncomfortable there are other sex positions that can be tried which will reduce this ocurrence If there is any form of dryness you might want to use lubricants But generally there is nothing to worry about So long things to be worried about such as painful sex bleeding after sex bloody or foul vaginal discharge and so on are not in your list of complains I Hope you find this helpful

A part of me wants to believe that what you call red oil might actually not be red oil It may not be oil at all Even if you drank galloons of red oil you may not be able to have redoil pool What is coming out of your anus may in fact be blood mixed with some describes That is why it is red and foul smelling Defecating blood is a danger sign and you need to visit the hospital as fast as you can The doctor will take a better history and examine you Some tests will be run also to know exactly what happened Was there any recent change in diet or did you just commence any new drug All theses are important Hope you found this helpful

Oily stool could be as a result of your diet in some cases or a symptom of malabsorption disorder enzyme deficiency or gastrointestinal disease However it is possible the associated redness is blood What other symptoms do you have Weight loss or feeling of gas in you stomach Nausea and vomiting Oily stool combined with redness which is possibly blood is not a good combination as far as I am concerned My advice is that you visit a doctor who would physically examine you and investigate the causes so as to know what treatment might be required if necessary

Hey Deborah Most women have a cycle of about 28 days with many ranging from 2135 days What this means is your period doesnt always have to fall on the same day of every month What you need to look out for is if your cycle length is less that 21 days or more than 35 days in between Otherwise things should be fine Also seeing as youre 19 depending on when you started menstruating your period might still be irregular as it usually is in the first two years I doubt this is the case though

Pimples are common usually harmless at that age They are often a result of your skins oil glands making too much oil which then leads to clogged pores My advice is that you avoid popping picking at or touching them as popping may cause scarring In addition touching your pimple can transfer oil and bacteria from your hands to your face therefore infecting the pimple and not giving it a chance to heal Washing your face regularly about twice per day especially when it gets sweaty This helps to keep oil from building up and clogging your pores Dont overwash or use harsh scrubs Acne is not caused by dirt Two gentle washings a day is enough Too much cleaning can leave skin irritated and dry triggering glands to produce more oil increasing the likelihood of pimples Stress or hormonal changes can also worsen pimples outbreak Cosmetics and makeup that have a greasy consistency may also clog pores Waterbased products are less likely to cause pimples than oilbased makeup Use oilfree or noncomedogenic products those that wont clog pores on your face Should you have an excessive amount of pimples you will benefit from speaking to a dermatologist

If you have been having this itch in your eye for a long while and it hasnt stopped then its best for you to have the eyes checked to know why you have had the recurrent itch By constantly itching your eye you stand the chance of infecting or damaging it Getting it checked to know they reason why it itches and to get it managed is the best option you have There is a possibility that you are reacting to something or some other reasons To control the itching Loratidine tablets will be helpful but you should have it checked in the long term Thanks

Hello Rafiu Without the knowledge of your wifes medical and obstetrics history it is hard to say why an operation cesarean section has been advised However when it is advised by your doctor a CS is usually a safer option for the mother and the baby than a vaginal delivery My advise is that you speak to the doctor who can allay your fears by explaining the exact reasons for a CS Some indications for a planned CS include but are not limited to the following 1 When your babybabies are in an abnormal position or if the mother carrying more than one baby a CS is often the safest way to deliver them without dangerous complications 2 If theres a problem with the mothers placenta If the placenta is covering all or part of the opening of the mothers cervix a CS is highly recommended for delivery 3 In cases of prolapsed umbilical cord that is when a part of umbilical cord slips through your cervix before of your baby is another indication for a CS 4 If the physical health of the mother is a concern conditions such as a heart or brain disorders might make the doctor request a CS 5 If theres a mechanical obstruction obstructing the birth canal or if your baby has a really large size or head 6 A previous CS although not absolute is also an indication for a CS As you can see there are multiple reasons for a CS this is not all and a doctor has to ensure that all of these do not lead to dangerous outcomes for your wife or child during delivery Please note that any attempt to forcefully go against such advice of a doctor is dangerous and can lead to unfavourable outcomes such as rupture of the womb leading to its complete removal or death If still uncomfortable with the doctors request you can seek another opinion with a specialist obstetrician I wish you all the best with the delivery

Most of the time itchy eyes are caused by some type of allergy such as pollen dust etc which results in itching redness and swelling Rubbing wont help your itchy eyes In fact it can make things worse If there is associated dryness then it is most likely not an allergic reaction and possibly something more serious Because the causes for itchy eyes are so varied if your symptoms are lasting getting worse or dont subside after using over the counter anti allergy eyedrops then I believe you will benefit from seeing an eye doctor

Hello Sorry about your itching You might also want to check the timing of the itch Is it related to food intake are you on any medications Some people with some form of allergy usually present this way and will itch when they come in contact with the trigger factor You can get some loratidine but you should ultimately try seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment I hope this helps Cheers

Rafiu your worries are validated However a prior myomectomy the surgery to remove fibroids is an indication for delivery by CS It is not absolute but if the managing doctors have advised a CS it will be in your best interest to go with that advice because an attempt to deliver vaginally could fail therefore leading to an unplanned CS or other unfavourable outcomes Godspeed

Hi Theres no point living in fear of something that you have control over so long as you completed your dosage and are taking precautions then I believe you should not have to worry about that However here are some precautions to take to reduce your chances of a reoccurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease 1 Practice safe sex Use condoms every time you have sex limit your number of partners and always ask about a potential partners sexual history 2 Get regularly tested for STIs If youre at risk of an STI such as chlamydia make an appointment with your doctor for testing Set up a regular screening schedule with your doctor if needed Early treatment of an STI gives you the best chance of avoiding PID 3 Request that your partner be tested If you have pelvic inflammatory disease or an STI advise your partner to be tested and if necessary treated This can prevent the spread of STIs and possible recurrence of PID 4 Dont douche Douching upsets the balance of protective bacteria in your vagina 5 Temporary abstinence Avoid sexual intercourse until treatment is completed and tests indicate that the infection has cleared in all partners Heres to a hopeful PIDfree existence All the best

Several conditions can cause white spots on the tonsils Theres often an associated sore throat often indicative of an infection Treatment varies depending on the cause After a doctors review of your symptoms a physical exam andor blood tests the cause is found and treatment commences A reoccurrence is possible depending on the cause however here are some steps to reduce the chances of reoccurrence 1 Handwashing is one of the most important ways to reduce the spread of viral and bacterial infections that may lead to different infections 2 Keeping the immune system strong by getting enough rest eating a wellbalanced diet and getting regular exercise can also decrease a persons chances of developing an infection 3 Covering the nose and mouth when coughing and limiting close contact with others until their symptoms have cleared up will also help prevent the infection spreading 4 Gargling with warm salt water several times a day may prove useful Cheers

Hi Im a 27year old lady and I just had sex for the first time recently The first time kinda hurt and was uncomfortable Which I expected but I attempted having sex again and it still hurts and its uncomfortable My vagina feels weirdmight be psychological My question is is sex supposed to feel this way Its nothing like I imagined and sincerely the pain and discomfort I felt makes me never want to have sex again

0.999997
Hello Good evening Sorry about your experience Having sex for the first time is actually painful for the female This is usually due to the hymen which is broken and may bleed during intercourse It usually gets better with time and the pain is less Another cause of painful intercourse is when the lady is not well lubricated hence the need for adequate foreplay and arousal before penetration again you might want to get rid of any negative thoughts you have about sex becaue if you keep having them it will always be painful most of the time make sure you have protected sex with condoms to avoid issues like unwanted pregnancies HIV hepatitis B and C I hope this helps cheers

Hi Emmanuella Sorry to hear about your skin trouble With dermatological problems one crucial aspect before treatment can commence is making an accurate diagnosis The unique thing is that many diagnoses in dermatology require that the skin be examined by a trained dermatologist A variety of skin problems can present in similar ways and giving prescriptions without having a proper look at the problem just might cause the issue to flare up even more Kindly visit a consultant dermatologist who will properly examine your skin and then provide you with medication that is appropriate Kind regards
