Question 1

can i do a self test to see if i have bppv?

Accepted Answer

Not really: You can detect if you have positional vertigo, but a physician needs other testing to confirm bppv.

Question 2

is there a test i can  take to see if i had an abortion?

Accepted Answer

No : The only waly to tell if you had an abortion is by you taking several her pregnancy tests. it takes some time after a miscarriage or abortion for the pregnancy test to turn negative. if a pregnancy test that you are doing now is positive, and another test in a week or two comes back negative, then you had a miscarriage.

Question 3

Question 4

when do you take the ovulation test to see if your ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Starting on day 10: If you have normal ovulatory cycles, it is most likely that you would ovulate somewhere between days 12-17, where day #1 is the first day of your cycle.  An ovulation predictor test should be positive about 24hrs before actually ovulating.   So i recommend that my patients start checking daily on day 10 of the cycle.

Question 5

is there a test women can take to see if they can get pregant?

Accepted Answer

Sex test.: Women who menstruate are typically assumed to be fertile unless attempts at conception do not result in pregnancy.  There is no better test than having sex around the time of ovulation.

Question 6

how can you test your own hearing to see if it's the normal range?

Accepted Answer

Hearing test: These tests are performed by audioligists, and you can often get same day appointments.  You could google an audiologist near you.  You will see the result of your hearing exam versus a "normal" population.  You can't appropriately test your hearing at home.  If you've noticed a change in hearing or folks have been recommending you check, just do it.  It's fast and painless!

Question 7

which test should i go for to see if my estrogen levels are normal?

Accepted Answer

Estrogen: Before you go and get your estrogen level measured you should know whether your periods are regular or not. If they are be grateful. If not see your gynecologist.

Question 8

what kind of tests can you have done to see if you'r baby's albino?

Accepted Answer

In a baby already...: ...Born, the diagnosis is usually pretty obvious. Prenatally, a genetic test on amniocentesis or villous sampling cells is possible, but I am not sure anyone does it.

Question 9

is there a way to test myself for diabetes at home to see it i have it?

Accepted Answer

Call a clinic: Because it's such a community concern, many cities have clinics that offer free or low $ screenings for this and other conditions too. If you have elevated blood sugar and are given Rx, you'll learn how to test for adequate dose, etc. but diagnosing is NOT a D.I.Y. task. Those initial tests are for pros. Ask at a hospital, pharmacy, phone book, etc. Best!

Question 10

if i was covid positive on thursday when should i test to see if i am not positive? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: You might not need retesting at all. Self isolate for 5 days after onset of symptoms or a positive test, if the symptoms are improving by then. If you would like to know for certain you are not likely to infect others, you can re-test 5-10 days after your positive test. This advice is only for home self testing (i.e. antigen test). PCR, the main covid lab test, remains positive for several weeks.
