Why Do I Have Raynaud's Symptoms?

It appears like you have Raynaud's Phenomenon. The condition makes your fingers and toes to change color, cause the cold and numb feeling, particularly, when you are exposed to cold or stress. This is due to blood vessels in your extremities overreacting to these triggers, thus, decreasing blood flow. The best way to do this is to wear warm clothes, gloves, and socks, and also avoid the cold that triggers such episodes.

Why is my uric acid level not decreasing?

Uric acid crystals can be formed in the joints and cause inflammation and pain, particularly in the knee, and ankle joints. Zyloric tablets usually are prescribed to reduce uric acid levels but if they aren't working you may require a different treatment. Follow up with your doctor to find other ways to control your gout and alleviate your symptoms.

Platelet Count: Is 5.5 Lakh Normal?

A platele­t count of 5.5 lakh is normal. These tiny cells he­lp blood clot properly. Low platelets me­an bruising easily, bleeding too much, and cuts won't stop ble­eding. High platele­ts might signal infection, inflammation, or medical issues. So, re­gular check-ups with your doctor monitor those platele­t levels. Your number looks good now. But de­finitely double-check with a doctor.

Is my uric acid level of 5.9 acceptable?

The uric acid level of 5.9 is already above normal. It might remain asymptomatic at first, yet if untreated, it may lead to gout, which is characterized by pain and swelling in the joints. Your uric acid level can be decreased by drinking more water, avoiding alcohol, and less red meat and seafood. Besides this method, exercising regularly may also be beneficial.

It can be done under the supervision of your father but ensure you get a follow-up guide from a doctor.

Why Am I Still Anemic After Delivery Treatment?

You've been feeling exhausted, lightheaded, and nauseous after childbirth. These could be signs of anemia, which means your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. Even though you are on iron and calcium tablets, they may not be enough. It's important to have a blood test to see if you need a different type of iron or if something else is causing your symptoms.

Swelling in Neck: Cancer Concern

A swelling in your ne­ck could come from different cause­s - not cancer alone. Infections or othe­r issues might make it happen. Cance­r wouldn't be the only re­ason for neck swelling. Along with a lump, feve­r, cough, and weight loss would occur if it were cance­r. It's wise to let a doctor examine­ you thoroughly and pinpoint the trigger behind the­ swelling.

Should I retest for HIV after 2023 negative result?

If you had unprotected intimate relations in 2022 and your HIV test was negative in October 2023. You are not required to take another test as long as you haven't been risky since then. HIV symptoms sometimes show up late, so if you feel something out of the blue, like inexplicable weight loss or too many infections, then it's good to get tested again.
