Question 1

I'm really worried because my monocytes are still absent in my latest CBC results, just like last summer. The only weird thing in the test is that there's no monocytes. My report shows Neutrophils at 50, Lymphocytes at 49, Monocytes at 0, and Eosinophils at 1. Should I be concerned about monocytes being zero? It's making me quite anxious. What could this mean?

Accepted Answer

The normal values of monocyte count in the body can range from 0 - 10% of the total number of WBC in your body. Therefore, a monocyte count of 0 is still considered normal and is not a cause for concern.

Glans Exposure and Skin Retraction Issue

_Normal Variations_

_Causes for Concern_

1. _Prolonged exposure_: If the glans remains exposed for an extended period (>24 hours).
2. _Discomfort or pain_: If you experience persistent discomfort, pain, or difficulty retracting the skin.
3. _Infection signs_: If you notice redness, swelling, increased sensitivity, or discharge.

_Self-Care Measures_

1. _Apply a topical cream_: Use a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cream or ointment to reduce friction and discomfort.
2. _Wear loose, breathable clothing_: Avoid tight clothing that can irritate the area.
3. _Maintain good hygiene_: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.

Question 6

I'm dealing with a dry cough and just found out my blood SGPT level is 60.5. I'm really worried and wondering if there's any link between this and bronchovascular lung disease. What should I be aware of?

Accepted Answer

Your SGPT level of 60.5 indicates mild liver stress, which might be unrelated to your dry cough. However, a persistent dry cough can sometimes hint at bronchovascular issues or lung conditions, which could indirectly affect overall health. It's best to consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation and management plan.
