Question 1

i have a cold & noticed after repeated blowing a very small amount of blood on tissue. is this normal or should i be worried? thanks.

Accepted Answer

URI: Nothing to worry about. Likely related to the infection and irritation. If it continues then you need to see a doc.

Question 2

do doctors ever ask to repeat blood tests that are normal?

Accepted Answer

Sure: If there is clinical suspicion of something, repeating a test to see what the trend is could be legit. For example, if you think someone might be becoming anemic, but history, but the first lab comes back with a low-normal blood count, repeating the test might be appropriate to see if blood counts are falling.

Question 3

what would be considered recurrent or persistent blood in semen?

Accepted Answer

Not mysterious: The words mean what they mean, nothing mysterious. Recurrent implies a problem was present, went away, and came back. Persistent means the problem continued without a break. Either way, see a doctor for evaluation and testing, ideally a urologist.

Question 4

what does it mean if hypochromia present is repeated on blood work?

Accepted Answer

: Hypochromia is translated to mean “low color.” This means there is less hemoglobin in your red blood cells. The finding is meaningful if the rest of your CBC shows low hemoglobin/hematocrit, a low MCV, and high RDW. This could suggest iron deficient anemia. An iron panel could also help with the diagnosis. Speaking to your provider can determine what is causing iron deficiency

Question 5

i have been getting recurrent fevers but my blood work is all normal. do you know what this could be?

Accepted Answer

FUO: Possibly an entity named 'fever of unknown origin'; but this usually requires fevers continually for 6 weeks.  A missed abscess may present in this way as well.  Please have your doctor follow up on this!  hope all is well.

Question 6

what is causing small amount of blood on tissue & urinary pain?  happened once yesterday & has not repeated itself

Accepted Answer

UTI: A urinary  tract infection commonly causes bleeding.

Question 7

i had my blood tested 17 yrs ago for vdrl and came positive at first but negative when repeated, recent test also came weak positive, what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist: In venereal diseases! the vdrl est for detection of syphilis is basically a non treponemal test that is known to have false positives reactions. Quantitative vdrl test is much better thus essential as well and HIV test. Sometimes a spinal tap (CSF) vdrl is needed too.  As i said, see a good specialist in the field of venereal diseases.

Question 8

how accurate are eldoncard blood type tests? i realize that they may not be 100%, but how accurate or inaccurate are they? what if one takes the test twice and gets the same result? how accurate would this repeated result be?

Accepted Answer

Likely accurate: If you followed the instructions correctly, the result would be accurate.
However, what do you plan to do with the results? There no bona fide use of this information for a lay person. Any diets of other issues supposedly based on blood types are not useful.
Get HPV and Covid Vaccines.
Wish you good health!

Question 9

why might i need to repeat an hcg blood test?

Accepted Answer

See below: After a missed period, HCG level of less than 5 is negative for pregnancy. More than 25 is diagnostic of pregnancy. Between 5-25 requires a repeat test in 4-5 days.

Question 10

what is repeat antibiotics as a remarks for medical results for blood test?

Accepted Answer

It is unclear: It's not clear if this means that you should undergo another course of antibiotics based on labs results, but that's what I would suspect.  The only way to better to understand the issue at hand is if you can provide better background behind your health like if you were taking antibiotics in the past and what for. It would also help to know what your lab test results were.
