Q: is there any home method to check pregnancy ? except missed periods ,pregnancy test kit and ultrasound

Tincture of time: The only other method that you haven't mentioned is time itself. "Whatever you do in the dark will come to the light eventually" is the applicable adage for that situation.

Q: you can buy a home pregnancy test kit at a pharmacy to test if you are pregnant or go see a doctor, they could also do a blood test to check if you ar?

Question: Is that a question or a statement? Yes, you can get a home pregnancy test at the pharmacy. Try it about a week after a missed period. Your doctor can also do a blood test which is a bit more accurate. These are things you should know before you begin to have sex, particularly if you're having unprotected sex, which is a the most common cause of pregnancy. Adulthood should proceed parenthood.

Q: i'm 79 yrs .not diabetic when i did check up blood investigations at lab may hba1c 5.7 and fasting blood sugar 101 mg/dl ,when i check my fasting b.s at home device kit it was 124 and 135 on next day may bmi 33 what is your opinion and management ?

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your A1c and lab glucose are normal. Losing weight will prevent your glucose tolerance getting worse. Wish you good health!

Q: can i do a at home syphilis test with a test kit after 2 and a half weeks? . i am currently unable to see a doctor. no visible symptoms, but unable to check the anal region. exposure was a hand job from sex worker and only a handjob, no sex or oral?

: Such an exposure is zero risk; no need for testing. However, if you ever have a real syphilis risk -- or if you would like reassurance about this event despite the absence of risk -- you need to wait until at least 6 weeks after exposure for a negative test result to be valid.

Q: how effective is the home ovulation kits?

Depends: They range form about 65% to 95% accuracy.

Q: how accurate are the at home a1c test kits?

Excessive testing: A1c needs to be tested only every 120 days or so. It is not like blood glucose that may require daily monitoring. There is no medical reason for A1c home testing. Use an accredited lab for the test.

Question 1

at home uti text kit reads 500+++ leu/ul and positive for nitrate , which antibiotic should take care of it besides keeflex i'm allergic to that.

Accepted Answer

Keflex is not a good: You should go see a doctor and ask him/her to give you an antibiotic which is best suited for uti. Keflex is generally not a good antibiotic for uti. Most doctors would use either Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) or Ciprofloxacin but you would need a prescription from your family doctor asap.

Question 2

is there a way for me to check my blood sugar at home without a prescription or expensive kits?

Accepted Answer

Sample: Your endocrinologist should be able to give you a free sample glucometer.

Question 3

can i do a at home syphilis test with a test kit after 3 weeks? . i am currently unable to see a doctor. no visible symptoms, but unable to check the anal region?

Accepted Answer

: The home self tests for syphilis are available in some countries but not yet in others. A positive result at 3 weeks is valid any time, but a negative result is not valid until at least 6 weeks after exposure. However, if you're the same person who asked a similar question about non-penetrating sex, you are not at risk for syphilis anyway.

Question 4

my periods are delayed by 8days.  i hav checked pregnancy home kit test it was negative. please tell me the reason for delayed periods?

Accepted Answer

Anovulation.: Irregularity in ovulation can account for irregular periods. If the home pregnancy test is negative 8 days after your expected period the chance of pregnancy is <1%. To make absolutely sure repeat the test in a week and/or see your gynecologist to check serum beta human Chorionic Gonadotropin levels.
