Can i still get a Gardasil 9 HPV vaccine if I've already tested positive for HPV 52? Would it still be effective?
To answer the question, I have to explain how cervical cancer forms and how does HPV gets involved. Let's imagine a scenario, where a young girl is exposed to one of the HPV viruses. The virus will attack the cervix and cause some low grade inflammation, and during this time, if this lady goes on to get herself a Pap smear, it will come back as inflammatory yield. The doctor will ask the patient to return 6 months later for repeat smear, and sure enough many times her body's immunity will fight the virus and the inflammation will resolve.
Is it harmful to drink four cups of coffee every day?
Hi. Glad to meet another coffee lover. I am personally addicted to coffee myself, and I am glad to share with you the current research findings about drinking coffee. Firstly, drinking excessive amounts of coffee can lead to plenty of gastric problems, such as gastritis or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. So if you have been diagnosed with a condition and your doctor specifically asked you to cut down or quit drinking coffee, please listen to him. He knows you and your condition personally and his advice will take precedence over what I write here.
Which doctor should I see for gout?
Hi Gout is a very painful condition, and I am sure you can see it in your boyfriend when he is having an attack. It is caused when the uric acid levels in the blood rises too high and start to crystalise within the joint, causing inflammation of the said joint. The good news is that each attack is easily treated with a trip to your family doctor, who will prescribe him either some oral tablets (colchicine works very well), or in some cases, an injection. With the medications and some rest, the attack will usually go away. The tricky part is to control the gout for the long term.
