Question

My tonsils are bleeding, swollen, and have puss coming from them.

Answer 1

Yes: Yes, it sounds like you have strep throat and need antibiotics. Go to the er or to an emergicare type place if you can't get in to see your doctor.

Answer 2

Yes: The cervix is more sensitive during pregnancy and will often bleed if touched. This includes vaginal ultrasounds, doctor exams, and sex. Spotting or light bleeding after any of these is very common. Heavy bleeding is not normal.

Answer 3

Yes: It is very common to be constipated when you are pregnant. Hard stools can irritate and cause fissures (cracks/cuts) in the anal/perianal area, resulting in bleeding when you move your bowels or wipe yourself. If you are experiencing bleeding from the vagina and are pregnant, you need to inform your obstetrician so he/she can investigate where the bleeding is coming from.

Answer 4

Yes: It can cause bleeding if there is a resultant tear or fissure. It can also cause bleeding from associated hemmorrhoids.

Answer 5

Stay off the tummy: A little bleeding from a baby's umbilical stump is normal, if the skin around the stump isn't red or hard. It's usually best to avoid baths, tummy time, or anything that would irritate the area until the belly button is clean, healed, and dry.

Answer 6

Call Your Doctor: Bleeding from the stump could be a part of the normal healing process or could be caused by scar tissue, also known as an umbilical granuloma. Although this is usually not an emergency, a granuloma should be treated, either with a chemical to reduce the tissue, or with a minor surgical procedure.

Answer 7

Applying alcohol...: ...Might help, if it does not, your doctor can cauterize the stump with silver nitrate and that should fix it. The stump tissue is similar to the tissue in a half-healed wound, but it can persist longer.

Answer 8

May be normal: After the umbilical stump falls off, it is like a scab falling off a scrape. A little bleeding might occur. It is usually resoved within 2 to 3 days after the stump falls off. If the area looks red in any way or if it seems to always be "moist" even after the stump has fallen off, take your baby th the doctor asap.

Answer 9

Bleeding should stop: The usual way a navel bleeds is just after something tugged on the umbilical stump when it is almost ready to fall off. The navel may ooze a drop or two of blood; then the stump will fall off in a few days. Also, there may be a drop or two of blood coming from the navel for a couple days, after a stump falls off. If there's continuous bleeding at any time, the baby should go to emergency room.

Answer 10

Dont worry: Umbilical cords bleeding is common and no need to worry unless there seems to be alot of bleeding. If you are concerned you should see your primary care physician.

Answer 11

Don't fret: Remember: there are three large vessels (two veins and an artery, usually) that are drying up inside that umbilical stump. They will crack open and fall off eventually, and any (old) blood in there will ooze out. (it'll also likely smell bad - it's old.) if it continues to bleed, schedule a visit with your provider, but it's likely just residual old blood.

Answer 12

Call your doctor: It is actually very common to have some small amount of bleeding from the umbilical stump as your babies umbilical cord is falling off. Most of the time i just tell parents to watch it. If it does seem like a large amount of blood, a baby should be seen by the pediatrician since the umbilical stump may need to be chemically cauterized with silver nitrate.

Answer 13

Pregnant?: The first thing you need to do is to take a pregnancy test. Your symptoms are not normal regardless of whether you are pregnant or not. See your gynecologist soon.

Answer 14

Have it checked: Gum bleeding could be caused by gum disease like gingivitis, taking blood thinners, a blood disorder with low clotting factors, hemophilia, and many others. Have your physician check it and see if you need to be tested.

Answer 15

Bleeding gums: Bleeding gums is not normal. Bleeding gums is usually caused when there is gum inflammation present. Gum inflammation can be caused by gingivitis and periodontitis which in turn are caused by accumulation of plaque, tartar and bacterial invasion. Poor oral hygiene, lack of dental cleanings, some systemic conditions and trauma ... Any of these could cause bleeding gums. You should see a dentist.

Answer 16

Absolutely not: Bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation or worse: infection. Several diseases have bleeding gums as a symptom such as leukemia. Please see a dentist as soon as possible.

Answer 17

Sign of problem!: If you started bleeding from anywhere else on your body, would you consider it normal? Obviously not. Bleeding gums are a sign of some problem. The most common cause of bleeding gums is gingivitis or periodontal disease, although there are many others, both of dental and medical origin. See a dentist as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
