Question 1

what is colities?

Accepted Answer

Colitis: Colon- large intestine
itis- inflammation.

Colitis is various from irritable bowel, diverticulitis, parasites to ulcerative colitis.
Most with diarrhea, pan, or bleeding as symptoms.

Question 2

i came down with a cold about 2.5 weeks ago. i feel better than i did, it is still lingering. my col?

Accepted Answer

Various possibility: Allergies can mimic some symptoms of a cold, and can persist beyond the expected 3-7 days of a cold.  A cough that lingers after recovery from a cold may be post-viral bronchitis.  Aches, fever, congestion, sore throat, or post-nasal drip, may indicate a post-viral sinusitis.  I generally recommend that people who have symptoms lasting beyond 10 days to 2 weeks see their primary care provider.

Question 3

what does cc = 50, 000 col/ml mean?

Accepted Answer

I believe that is: colonies per milliliter.

Question 4

having 300ml col in an urinalysis what does it mean or cause is it bad?

Accepted Answer

Clarification needed: Urinalysis typically measures urine acidity (ph), specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, nitrates/esterase (indicator for infection), and hemoglobin (indicator of red cells).  The values for these tests do not match up with your question, the only thing i can think of that matches up numerically on dipstick is protein (mg/dl) or glucose (mg/dl).  Please clarify.

Question 5

can you tell me how dangerous is 100, 000 col form units in a urinalysis?

Accepted Answer

Here is ...: Accumulated experience confirmed, designated, &amp; adopted this number inside each cc of urine as being significant to denote a properly collected urine containing enough bacteria to cause UTI, especially in females.  However, it would be more meaningful to correlate the culture result with clinical picture. But, at times, a less number is still deemed significant for clinical use. So, ask Doc timely.

Question 6

what does 11,000-50,000 col/ml mean on a urine c/s?

Accepted Answer

: The significance of bacterial colonies from urine culture should be interpreted in the context of the method of urine specimen collection and mixed vs pure (one type) growth of bacteria.  Your urine culture result is suggestive of UTI if urine specimen was from a clean catch and pure growth.  Mixed type of bacteria of same level of colony count often result from contaminated specimen.

Question 7

how long after breaking my coller bone can i lift weights?

Accepted Answer

Depends on type: I like to see full or nearly full healing of a collarbone/clavicle fracture on an x-ray, absence of pain and full range of motion of the shoulder before allowing a return to weight lifting. Then, you would begin with light weight and lower risk exercises like biceps curls and triceps pushdowns. Exercises stressful to the fracture area such as bench press & push ups would be allowed later.

Question 8

total col 226, hdl 56, ldl 151, ldl/hdl ratio 2.70. is this good?

Accepted Answer

Fair: Your good cholesterol and your bad cholesterol are both high, but your good cholesterol is proportionally higher than your bad cholesterol. So I would say, that this amounts to a modest elevation in your cholesterol.

Question 9

hi, i am 6 months out of colectomy surgery, with multiple follow up surgeries, what causes pain in lower left side after this long? i have 1ft. of col

Accepted Answer

Maybe adhesions?: Causes of recurrent llq abdominal discomfort may be identified by first addressing accompanying signs/symptoms so as to localize the organ involved: vaginal discharge or bleeding, alteration in periods, pregnancy risk? Fever, nausea, vomiting, altered stool pattern, blood with stool, tenderness, distension? Painful urination, blood in urine? Recent trauma, herniations? Age? Gender? Risk factors?

Question 10

how likely is it that using coles mouthwash gave me cavities?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to say: It is difficult to say if any mouthwash will give anyone cavities. Cavities occur when sugars from food are left on the teeth and allowed to create acids that dissolve the tooth structure. Acid conditions from soda, and juices that are frequently ingested can also cause decay. Check with your dentist to get even more information and help.
