Question 1

lack of period.then 3 day clotting next month. late period with small moderate amount of clotting.black.brown.water bright red.and pink blood 5days?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy Test: When in doubt, it is best to do a pregnancy test. All sexually active girls with abnormal cycle should do a pregnancy test. If negative, then do a menstrual calendar. If the cycles are irregular for longer than 3 months than see a gynecologist.

Question 2

red blood cell count slightly high 5.14. this somethin that can regulate itself at some point? ive had lack of oxygn in the past. pacemaker i now have

Accepted Answer

Stop worrying : Lab ranges are set so that a few percent of healthier fall outside on either side. If your red count is high, the others are okay and your MCV is losing, you may have thalassemia minima.

Question 3

i have iron deficiency and lack of vitaminb12 last time i checked blood count results was 10, i have low red and white blood cells. help?

Accepted Answer

This is serious: If you are truly B12 deficient (there are some crooked labs), you need to find the cause, and also an explanation for the lack of iron in your blood (poor diet, blood loss from periods, into gut, etc). I hope that if you are a vegetarian, you are taking appropriate supplements so as not to ruin your health. Please let your physician give you a complete workup, and also seek other possible causes.

Question 4

hello, im desperate. i took a plan b pill about 14 days ago, and today, i noticed a very light red coloring blood. because of lack of information, i took the plan b, although i regularly take birth control. is it spotting? am i pregnant?

Accepted Answer

: "Plan B" is not 100% protective against pregnancy, and "very light" bleeding can happen just from sexual activity from an inflamed cervix.  If you period is late, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.  If you are taking oral bcp's, punctuality is essential to avoid breakthrough bleeding (active pills w/in the hour of the prior day's pill), but high 90% protection remains.

Question 5

i had a sewing needle prick 24 hours ago (a little blood) is it still consider a open wound?  i do not see redness, just a little hold.  thank you.

Accepted Answer

No: If just  a pin prick then it is not an open wound, keep it clean.

Question 6

what are the symptoms of lack of blood to the brain?

Accepted Answer

Loss of consciousnes: With lack of blood to the brain you would faint or lose consciousness. If the interruption is prolonged, damage could be permanent.

Question 7

redness & pain at blood draw site?

Accepted Answer

It depends: If you just had your blood drawn, then there is red swelling and pain, then some extra blood might have leaked under the skin. This will go away with time. If it has been a few days since you had your blood drawn, then you might be dealing with an infection, and you need to have your doctor check it out. You can put on some topical antibiotic and a bandaid, and call your doctor.

Question 8

what can i use when i lack copper in my blood?

Accepted Answer

Hypocupraemia: Treatment includes management of the underlying cause and copper supplementation. No studies have investigated with the dose, route, duration, or formulation of copper for supplementation. Guidelines recommend routine oral copper supplementation (2 mg/d). Periodic assessment of serum copper is essential to determine adequacy of replacement.

Question 9

lack of blood in the body is dangerous.?and also what food do they eat daily?

Accepted Answer

Lack of blood?: Yes, lack of blood in the body is so dangerous that depending on degree, it can lead to death.  Hoping you're eating a healthy diet so that your body makes all the blood cells you need -- and keeps them well supplied with iron.  Healthy diets include plenty of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins (can be from plant sources if vegetarian), monounsaturated and omega-3 fats, ; complex carbohydrates.

Question 10

would my blood test have shown if i was aneamic or had a lack of something? been feeling terrible lately.

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the type of test done. There are hundreds of different types of tests. Checking for anemia is easy, but finding out why you are feeling terrible may not be practical without a detailed history, physical examination and perhaps trial of medication.
