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've been eating a lot of ice from the fridge and even the frost inside the freezer, probably around 2025 times a day. It's like I have a real craving for it. I'm starting to wonder if this could be bad for me. If it is, what should I do to stop wanting freezer frost so much?
Its completely a behavioural issue. You shouldn't be having it so much. So just try to control somehow. Do not keep the ice tray in the freezer. There is no medicine for such things.

I'm a bit concerned about my platelet count, which came back as 0.79 lakh per cubic millimeter. Is this considered normal or moderate? Also, I'm wondering if there's a way to treat this without needing a transfusion.

I'm looking at my blood work results and I have a few concerns. It mentions predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes, and the platelets seem adequate on the smear. There's a bunch of numbers too: WBC is 8.74, Neutrophils are 59.7, Lymphocytes 34.9, Monocytes 2.5, Eosinophils 2.4, and Basophils 0.2. Then it lists the absolute counts like Neutrophil absolute count at 5.22 and Lymphocyte absolute count at 3.05. My RBC is 5.24 and Haemoglobin is 15.5. Platelet count is 155, with some measurements called PDW at 18.2, MPV at 12.8, and PLCR at 46.1. Is there something here to be cautious about? Do I need any treatment or should I be focusing on anything specific regarding these results? I'm not on any medications at the moment.
