Widal Test Report Interpretation
Positive Result:
The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows:
- Salmonella Typhi O (1:160): Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen.
- Salmonella Typhi H (1:40): Shows a moderate level of antibodies against Typhi H antigen.
Impression: Positive (+ve)
This suggests that you have been exposed to Salmonella Typhi, which could indicate a current or past Typhoid infection.
Dietary Recommendations:
During Typhoid infection, it's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods that are easy to digest:
- Fluids: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water.
- Bananas: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium.
- Rice: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach.
- Applesauce: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit.
- Lean proteins: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.
- Avoid spicy and fatty foods: These can exacerbate digestive issues.

View allWhy do fibroids cause heavy periods?
Uterine fibroids may put pressure against the uterine lining, which can cause more bleeding than usual. The uterus may not contract properly, which means it can't stop the bleeding. Fibroids may stimulate the growth of blood vessels, which contributes to heavier or irregular periods and spotting between periods.

I've been working out 5 days a week, mixing between light and hard exercises, but I've noticed that I bleed vaginally every single time. It's been happening more often in the past 2 months and I've been in this routine for 6 years. I'm really confused because I'm a virgin, so it can't be anything sexual, and my periods are regular. Plus, I've never used birth control. What's going on?
It's concerning that you're experiencing vaginal bleeding during every workout, especially if it's been happening more frequently. This could be related to hormonal imbalances, stress, or even physical strain. I strongly recommend consulting a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions and get a proper diagnosis.
