I'm 5 weeks pregnant and my recent urine test showed pus cells of 20-25. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it lead to any serious issues?

Widal Test Report Interpretation

Positive Result:

The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows:

  1. Salmonella Typhi O (1:160): Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen.
  2. 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:

  1. Fluids: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water.
  2. Bananas: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium.
  3. Rice: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach.
  4. Applesauce: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit.
  5. Lean proteins: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.
  6. Avoid spicy and fatty foods: These can exacerbate digestive issues.

I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and my ENT doctor has put me on Hicet AX tablets to take once a day for 57 days to help with a bad cough and cold I've been dealing with. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about whether this medication is actually safe to use during pregnancy. Can you let me know if it's okay to continue taking it while I'm in my first trimester?

You can take it no problem.

I'm trying to figure out how many days I should rest after getting family planning surgery. Also, are there any specific precautions I need to keep in mind while recovering?

After family planning surgery, rest for at least **2-3 days** is generally recommended, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities for about a week. Keep the surgical site clean and dry, monitor for any signs of infection like redness or swelling, and follow up with your doctor as advised.

I'm really concerned because I'm 3 days late on my period and that never happens to me. Normally, Id be getting these cramps, headaches, backaches, and mood swings right before my period starts, but even with all these symptoms, there's still nothing. I was supposed to get it on Friday, and now its Monday. I did something on Wednesday thats freaking me out a bitI masturbated after having sperm on my fingers, but I did wipe it off with tissue before that, and it wasn't immediate. Plus, on Saturday, I pushed myself really hard during a workout and ended up feeling dizzy and nauseous. Could either of these things be affecting my period, or is something else going on? I'm starting to panic here and would love some insight.

Periods get late upto 7 days from your regular timings, depending on various physical and psychological issues. Get relax and wait for next 3-4 days, if not start by then, you could consult a gynecologist.
