@merry Hello, You are not alone. I have had my BV since last week. For about 3 days I have had aching legs from my thighs to bottom of my feet and sharp pain in my back also headaches and I never get headaches. The doctor said it's because of the BV. I have had a BV off and on for years and never have felt like this. My legs feel weak and I can't stand or walk for too long. It's very frustrating because I work out and due to this now I can't.

@oisin Hello, it is acceptable to donate blood even if you have a skin disease, although what kind of medication and treatment you are on are very important to consider if you want to donate blood. Please talk with your doctor before donating blood. My suggestion would be you should avoid donating blood with urticaria while taking medications. Thanks!

@hamza Hello, When a mosquito bites a person already infected with malaria, it becomes infected and spreads the parasite to the next person it bites. Malaria can't be spread directly from person to person. When an infected mosquito bites, the parasite enters the blood and travels to the liver. In the liver, it develops for days to weeks before re-entering the blood. This is the point where symptoms develop and urgent treatment is required. Malaria may cause anemia or jaundice. In some severe cases, it attacks the brain and creates neurological problems.

@ulma Hello, yes it is true Infection in the uterus and fallopian tubes is the most common complication following an abortion. Fever above 101° F, Abdominal pain different than cramping, and smelly discharge. For surgical abortions, do not use tampons for 1 week. Most of the normal side effects can be managed by resting, though prefer to take rest to return to normal activity levels. Most pregnancy symptoms begin to go away within 24 hours after the abortion, with nausea usually gone by the third day. You should not have a bath for 48 hours after your abortion. Contact your doctor if you experience any symptom of infection. Thanks.

@rutvi Hello, Yes it is true. You can be allergic to certain chemicals present in scented toilet paper.

@romm Hello, Younger adults can develop oral thrush, especially if they have an impaired immune system. Oral thrush is a fungus infection caused by candida albicans, which lives naturally in the colon, digestive tract, and skin. It can appear on the tongue, on the inside cheeks, and in the throat. Severe cases can involve the esophagus. There are many extraneous variables that can cause oral thrush. One of them is stress. Stress can lead to many physical problems and even certain diseases. stress can affect fungus levels in the body. Though candida albicans lives naturally in the body and on the skin, stress can spur an overproduction of it. The candida fungus feeds on certain foods you eat (i.e., sugar and wheat gluten), making you feel tired and languid. It also irritates the mucus lining in your colon and causes fecal impactions. These impactions block vital nutrients from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Over time, stress can lower your immunity and make you more prone to fungus infections such as oral thrush.

@zos The yellow fever virus is found in tropical and subtropical areas of Africa and South America. The virus is spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. There is no medicine to treat or cure the infection. Mosquitoes become infected with the virus when they bite a human or monkey with the virus. The disease can’t be spread from one person to another. To prevent getting sick from yellow fever, use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and get vaccinated. Yellow fever virus (or flavivirus) causes yellow fever, and it’s transmitted when an infected mosquito bites you. Thanks.
