I'm curious about blood group compatibility for marriage. Both my partner and I have A positive blood types. Could this lead to any issues or concerns we should be aware of?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In general, there are no significant concerns or complications for a marriage between two individuals with A+ positive blood groups, as they share the same ABO blood type and Rh positivity, minimizing the risk of blood transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) in their offspring

View allI'm a bit worried because my recent CBC test showed that my monocytes level is 13. My WBC count is normal at 4200, but I read online that having high monocytes can be related to cancer. Should I be concerned about this?
An elevated monocyte count does not always indicate cancer. Monocytosis can be caused by various factors such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory conditions. In your case, since your WBC count is within the normal range, it is less likely to be related to cancer. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and to determine the underlying cause of the elevated monocyte count. If needed, your doctor may recommend further tests or monitoring.

I'm a bit concerned about my platelet count since my recent battle with a viral fever. It dropped quite a bitfrom 94,000 down to 64,000, and then to 43,000. Now that I'm feeling better, I know I need to keep an eye on my platelet levels. But should I really be doing blood tests every day, especially while I'm on my period?
It's not necessary or recommended to do a blood test every day, especially during your periods, as this can lead to unnecessary stress, expense, and potential infection risks; instead, follow your doctor's advice and schedule blood tests at intervals they recommend, typically every 2-3 days or weekly, to monitor your platelet count, and consider discussing with your doctor the possibility of thrombocytopenia or other underlying conditions that may be contributing to your low platelet count.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 55 and has been dealing with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura for years now. With everything going on, I'm wondering if it's safe for him to get the COVID vaccine. I've heard mixed things and just want to make sure it's okay for him to get vaccinated. Any advice?
Patients with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) should consult with their healthcare provider before receiving the COVID vaccine. In general, individuals with ITP can receive the COVID vaccine, but it is important to monitor their platelet levels closely before and after vaccination. The vaccine brand and dosage can be determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's individual health status and needs.
