Causes of Vaginal Discharge?
Causes of Vaginal Discharge?
Dear Dr,
For quite some time now, I have had worrying vaginal discharge that has refused to go. I am embarrassed and distressed and wonder what can be the cause of this? Can you please explain the causes of the condition
Madam Magana Yakare, Maiduguri
Dear Madam,
The best way to find out what is the cause of a woman's discharge is to do a test called HVS-- High Vaginal Swab-- a test done by the doctor to discover the cause of a woman's discharge or infection
Note these ten points about vaginal discharge and you will have rest of mind
1. All adult women have a Normal Vaginal Discharge that is white like coconut or akamu; does not smell and does not itch. It is also, not plenty.
2. This normal discharge can also be a little abnormal in one or two situations-- normal discharge that has become too plentiful. The first is during ovulation-- this is referred to as ovulation mucus.
3. There is also what is referred to as Leucorrhea in pregnancy -- the pregnant woman secretes and discharges normal vaginal secretion more than the non pregnant. This is not disease in as much as all of us agree that pregnancy is not a disease!!!
4.Of course, after sex, when the penis has gained entry into the vagina, there is an artificial increase in the woman's discharge --it is nothing but the excess seminal fluid flowing out of the vagina; okay? Nothing to worry about.
5. Candidiasis, Moniliasis or Yeast infection are synonyms for the same condition that is recognized as the single most common cause of female genital discharge as well as itching among human females. It needs treatment. It is not normal. The discharge is whitish or creamy, itchy seriously and plentiful.
6. Trichomoniasis is another cause of vaginal discharge. Trichomoniasis is itchy in the extreme. It affects the male partner also; who unless he is treated concomitantly (at the same time) will promptly pass it back to the female in an eternal ping-pong like game which the inexperienced doctor cannot stop. The disease can be transmitted via toilet seats or swimming pools. The discharge here is not white, is seriously smelly (at times like fish) and can have funny colours-- green or yellow.
7. Gardnerellosis or Bacterial Vaginosis is the name of a third affliction that can cause abnormal discharge from the vagina whose treatment is the same as Trichomoniasis and is named after a certain Dr Gardner who discovered it.
8. Vaginal discharge can also be increased and abnormal -- but not itchy in Chlamydia-- a Sexually Transmitted Disease where treatment must also include both partners -- and which can cause infertility. Chlamydia infection will almost always also affect urination –with pain, burning or discomfort, frequency or other troubles in addition to the discharge. It is important to note, also, that in Chlamydia infections it can happen that there may simply be no symptom at all, in some cases.
9. Gonorrhea causes a cervicitis -- inflammation of the cervix -- that gives a vaginal discharge too and the only way to find out if it is gonorrhea is to do the test I mentioned above-- called the HVS--High Vaginal Swab with m,c,s-- microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
10. The only other time a woman may have some bad discharge is when there is a foreign body inserted into her vagina--forgotten menstrual stuff or tampon usually or some other foreign body. This is why any complaint of Vaginal Discharge must be thoroughly investigated. There is no way a lady having discharge can be properly treated without examining her vaginally; no way. And, like I said, there must be an HVS taken to find out the exact type of germ causing the infection; so that appropriate measures to save the woman's reproductive health and fertility can be taken. For further help, just call the helplines

Pyelonephritis and PID
Pyelonephritis and PID
Sir, I was suffering from stomach ache I now decided to go and see a doctor he now advised me to go for scanning the result states that my right kidney has parenchymal inflammatory changes, with echo sonic texture, loss of cortiomedullary differentiation, no calculi or hydronephrosis. My uterus is normal and anteverted, empty cavity, no gestational sac seen, my ovary is normal, no cysts. This is what was written at the end: “RT.PYELONEPHRITIS; PID”. Sir, help me explain all these. The doctor only said I have an infected kidney. Thank you
Jemila Langbassa,
Badagry
Dear Jemila,
You clearly understand the words "normal", 'no" and "empty". Pyelonephritis is just what the doctor called it -- it's infection of the kidney and needs to be tended to properly; so go see a very good doctor. If neglected, pyelonephritis can become a cause of Acute Renal Failure which if allowed to turn Chronic is usually irreversible and terminal, ending ultimately in death. PID is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and means your tubes and maybe other pelvic organs are infected. PID can cause decreased fertility, so you also need to get it treated fast -- and by the professionals trained to do the job -- doctor/gynecologist, okay? Both these conditions are usually caused by ordinary, non-sexually transmitted bacterial germs found in the stool which arrive in the vagina and bladder from the backside often as a result of sex ( --? maybe from behind?) -- so prevention would mean greater cleanliness in the woman's cleaning up --after stool, sex, urination, menses or whatever --from behind back and not forward -- and then if from behind intimacy has happened, proper cleaning of the genitals before penetration."Honeymoon cystitis" (infection of the bladder) during honeymooning is a well known precursor to pyelonephritis. Esherichia coli, Coliform bacilli and Enterococci faecalis as well as Staphylococci, Klebsiella and Proteus are usual microbial culprits and must be flushed out with proper antibiotics to which they are suitably sensitive in the correct dosages for them correct period of time. Pain, discomfort, pain in the lowermost belly--or pelvis-- waist or back pain are all features of both these diseases and in the acute stage, of course, fever and chills. With PID there may be no frequency, pepperiness or other abnormality with urination which are normal in pyelonephritis but there may be abnormal vaginal discharge and pain with menstruation that was not present before or not as intense. Women get this kidney problem 3 or 4 more times often than men because of the relative shortness of their urethra or urine pipe. Summary? See a good doctor/gynecologist and do that fast.

Help!!! The Seed (Semen) Flows Out!!
Help!!! The Seed Flows Out!!
Dear Dr. Please I urgently need your help.
I am a married woman for the past 3 years now
without issue. I have never been pregnant before. My
husband and I had gone through series of tests which proved
nothing. We are asked to just relax and wait on
God. The problem is that I usually experience sperm
gushing out of my private part after sex even though I did not stand
up on or from the bed. This usually happens whenever my husband
withdraws. What can I do? Doctor said everything
cannot come out, but I am sure, it is everything
that is coming out. What can I do, even when I lie and sleep there for hours
or support my waist with pillows the result is the same
all the time.
Thanks
PCJ, Potiskum
Dear PCJ,
Many of our readers will remember that I always talk
about approaching issues of infertility-- or any serious health problems for that matter
--especially the ones that defy treatment or cure by using the three-pronged holistic approach – the physical; the mental and the spiritual. Your type
of case, madam, buttresses the need for such an
approach. I still am waiting for the scientific
explanation for what you just described. The vagina
is a potential space--just like a pocket does not open unless you put something in it, so also does the vagina remain closed until the penis goes in.
There is no more efficient "safe" than one like the
"pocket" that the vagina constitutes. Whatever you
put in it, it closes in on it and grips it --
that's the natural thing. Now, when what you put in is a
viscid, sticky liquid like we all know semen is,
it's even better-- much less likely that the stuff
is going to fall off even when you stand up and
turnthe "bottle" or barrel of the vagina upside
down. But listen to yourself and a million other
women in this dilemma -- You do not even stand up
from the bed-- you actually, even put pillows
under the buttocks to make the bottle gain a sharper
incline and yet the whole thing flows out
immediately after sex!!! Now, the big question-- if
you poured water into a standing bottle, will the
liquid flow out if the bottle is still standing on
its base? Or even if you inclined the bottle and
made it stand on the edge of its base but almost
perpendicular -- could liquid flow out? Excuse me,
the answer is a resounding No. No; no, no! That is
why infertility is a matter beyond just the
physical
tests and procedures and ovulation etc. Or even
hi-falutin gimmicks like ICSI and IVF. It is a
matter of body, soul or mind and spirit. Or why
would liquid flow out of a bottle that's standing
on
the edge of its base? That is not natural. It's
not
physical -- you will agree with me. It's not
mental
either (though there are mental dimensions to
infertility management). It definitely is
spiritual!! The truth is -- there are forces
beyond
the natural that have refused you a pregnancy all
this time and are efficiently pouring out your
husband's semen from your vagina immediately after
ejaculation, so that -- you guessed it-- you will
never get pregnant. That's it -- and nothing else.
Remedy? Go it the way I always advocate --- take
care of all areas --body, mind and spirit.
Spiritual simply means prayer. After all, we care,
it's only God who cures. And, of course, you must
not abandon medical help for prayer alone. So see
us
or a good doctor/gynaecologist who understands
these things.

AM I POSSESSED?
POSSESSED?
QUESTION: "The way I relate with ladies, I fear I am possessed?"
ANSWER: "Get appropriate help, fast." Further details on page 2
Dear Doctor,
I am socially and spiritually diseased. I want diagnosis for my self
and these ladies: we are all possessed.
For the past four years I have been trying to get married with no success
but instead I meet girls in the spiritual realm. It has been difficult to interact
with ladies in the physical body. I see ladies in spiritual bodies and not the
one of their birth . I speak to ladies in different place; and on many occasions
it is the same set of people. Although it is a social problem there is still
some trace of love in the phenomenon.
I am a teacher. I come across these ladies in many of the institutions
I deal with-- banks, in NEPA, schools etc.
Some of these ladies are: -- (he lists about two dozen Nigerian ladies mostly
of high birth--daughters of Emirs, governors, politicians, business magnates
etc, mostly of Northern origin--)For some, their love is stronger
(again he lists some particular ones); others less strong. I have not been able to
use these opportunities I have to talk to them.
I enclose a self adressed envelop for your response and hope to read in
your paper, the treatment you will give us.
Mudathir Al Bashir, Sokoto
Dear Mudathir,
Since you yourself say you understand the diagnosis –spiritual disease plus its
social dimension – delay of marriage, you really need not a medical doctor
but a spiritual consultant. Although I'd say it would be advisable to see
a psychiatrist also because what you describe yourself as seeing is described
as visual hallucinations--seeing things others do not see-- and that is a
major feature of schizophrenia(not being right upstairs).
But maybe you deliberately sent to us because you know that apart
from being a medical doctor we are also into the spiritual dimension.
The problem should resolve or at lest reduce considerably if you got
married; don't you think?
The possession aspect you mention may or may not be the root of
your problem. See a psychiatrist as well as a deliverance
minister. Or if you cannot find one, do it your self by praying
(and maybe fasting) because as you may know prayer changes
things --even science is beginning to discover this.
You can write for further details and/or help. Also send feedback-
don’t despair-- the problem can be easily dealt with and you can get
married soonest.
Cheers

Malaria Mauling Me!!
Malaria Mauling Me!!
Dear Doctor,
I've been having headache in some part of my head, which gives me some sharp pain and I've been having stomach rumbling for some months now, and some times when I walk my eyes will be turning me and it seems am staggering. I've to some lab they say there is nothing wrong with me, that is only suffering from malaria. Please doctor I will like u to tell me the sickness that has this symptoms and the medicine I will to treat them. Please doc, send me a personal email to explain them. Bye. I will be waiting to hear from u soon.
Michaelolo, Mambila
Dear Micahelolo,
Malaria can present the way you describe.
Use the correct treatment for it-- too many times people are dealing with resistant malaria and the longer it stays, the more anemic --not enough blood --the patient gets; explaining why you are dizzy and stagger. You see the malaria parasites destroy blood cells that's how anemia gets in. ACT = Artemisinin- based Combination Therapy is the correct way to treat malaria, these days. It must include, Artemisinin-- the new anti-malarial from China; and whatever anti-malarial you used to use before now. Get a good doctor/internist to look you up and treat you for not only malaria but also for anemia and you should get and feel fully well
Cheers

Many Symptoms! Help
Many Symptoms! Help
Dear Doctor,
Please can you help me? I have all these symptoms and I am scared to go see a doctor am not even sure we have a competent one where I live. I started having painful menstruation last year ending then the waist pains began the headaches come and go but am not able to jump around and play because my head aches when I do. Sometimes, I have itching in my private part which comes and goes. I am not sexually active so I don’t know anything about that part. I am 18yrs old and I want to live a healthy life; please help me. Please send the reply to my box I rarely have the
opportunity to buy newspapers. Thank you
Desperate Girl.
Dear Desperate Girl,
You have three problems --very likely. One is PID. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease can afflict women even if they never had sex before; once a woman who did not have menstrual pains previously, begins to have them, it is safe to assume she now has PID; simple. Waist pains and backache make me believe PID is actually what you have. Untreated PID can help cause Infertility. Then you likely have typhoid with your come and go headaches. Very likely, the headaches will be affecting your eyes and forehead majorly. You also have another problem common among women but not an STD, and that is Candidiasis. That's very likely the cause of your on and off itching genitals. Send an email to me at doctorbibbi@yahoo.co.uk or visit me at mediamedixdoctor.blogspot.com and you'll learn a lot about this last one. I've sent to you -- below --detailed information about PID. We prepared it here for readers some time ago. I don't see how you can afford to be shy of doctors, O! Go see a competent doctor or gynecologist today. The General Hospital nearest you will help. Cheers

Uncontrollable Urination
Uncontrollable Urination
Doctor Sir,
I am a regular reader of your column. I thank you for the work you've been doing for the society. Our society needs more people of your type.Without wasting much time, I have been having this problem.I urinate a lot, and I have been experiencing serious body hot internally.And I'm very slim.I have been drinking a lot of water but I still pass a lot urine especially when I take water. Please sir, this is giving me sleepless nights. Please, advise me on what to do, because, I don't want to continue loosing weight. Also, I will like you to prescribe some drugs that can help me add weight.Please sir, for security reasons, I would be very grateful if you reply this letter through my email. I don't want it published in the newspaper.Thank you. Waiting to hear your reply.

Dear KOO,
Diabetes Mellitus is the disease that readily comes to mind when you talk of your problems. It is easy to confirm or deny whether or not it is the cause of your symptoms. Very easy. Just ask a doctor to send you for these 3 tests: a)Urine Analysis; b)Random Blood Glucose ;c) Glucose Tolerance test. The results will tell if you have diabetes or not. Type 1(childhood onset) diabetes classically shows itself with 3 features a)Polydipsia-- too much water drinking; b)Polyuria -- too much urination; and c)Polyphagia with weight loss-- eating too much but not gaining weight -- in fact, actually losing weight! You can see that you almost fit this description. With Type 2 or maturity(adult) onset diabetes; there is usual weight--gain (not weight loss) as a predisposing factor -- not as a consequence. Of course there is the ubiquitous polyuria -- too much urination and of course, over much thirst and water-drinking. Why cannot I prescribe drugs for you to gain weight without seeing you and examining you and investigating you properly? Because there are many diseases that cause weight-loss. If you do have Type 1 Diabetes, you could just die-- yes --actually just die while taking some general weight-gain medicines that I could write for you. Die from the diabetes. You see, Type 1 diabetes kills without the use of insulin because the organ called the pancreas that produces insulin in the human being is sick --very much so -- in the diabetic; and so, does not produce any insulin again. Without insulin which helps the body to use glucose; there is too much glucose in the blood; intoxicating the brain and causing coma(and if insulin is not given --available only by injections) -- death.In the case of diabetes, if indeed you have it, treatment would not be drugs to gain weight, but appropriate management, using, of course, insulin without which death will occur. So please, hurry up and go see a good doctor today. Send me feedback.

Heart Cry Over Staphylococcus
Heart-Cry!!!
Dear Doctor,
I have for years been diagnosed as having a scanty growth of Staphylococcus aureus. I have equally received several treatment from several hospitals to no avail or so I think. Some doctors have also told me to ignore the test result and remove my mind from it as it was not a problem per se. However, i have been married for over five years now without a child and in the circumstance; I am forced to think of all possible reasons so that solutions can be sought. Some of my lab investigations have shown a high percentage of inactive/dead semen in motility checks - 15% active, 65%sluggish, 20%dead, with a count of 48x10 to power6 cells/cm(3) to power 3! My SFA yielded no bacterial growth after 24hrs incubation @37degrees centigrade. But a swab culture yielded a scanty growth of Staphylococcus spp? After 48hrs incubation at 37degrees!
I am currently receiving treatment at LUTH ( Medilag Consult /Prenatal Diagnosis & treatment centre,) . I have paid heavily for all sorts of tests- cytoclines screening (historone, TNF-alpha, IL2, IL6, IL8, Thyrglobin);Fructase, acid phosphate, alkaline Phosphate; Testosterone, Inhibin B, Prolactin, FSH, LH,; Sperm AB, IgA, IgM,; PSA, ANA, ACA, CRP, etc. Most of the results show normal ranges.
After reading your response on Staph and HIV/AIDS in the Sun of Tuesday Feb. 22, 2005, I decided to write and ask for your opinion/advise on the above matter. Has Staph anything to do with my present childless condition? I will appreciate if you can assist me get out of this problem and enjoy my married life with children of my own.
Will appreciate your reply via mail
DRV
Abia State
Dear DRV,
Please Stop! Please stop all those tests and running around to no avail and listen. Listen really carefully-- Very likely, you are faced with what I call a Peculiar Disease(PEDI) or a Spiritually Inflicted Disease Entity(SIDES). Proof? All the most hi-falutin tests medicaments and doctors in the whole world and yet --ALL TO NO AVAIL!!!. What to do? Simple. See a doctor/physician or practitioner like me who understands that " God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breathe of life and man became a living mind or soul" Genesis 2.7. Man is not body alone!!! Man is a spirit; resident in a body and equipped with a mind-- body, mind and spirit --problems can come from any of the 3 areas!!! You are looking for solutions where there are none. The problem is beyond your body. Maybe in your mind or mental space. Or more likely, spiritually inflicted. How to tackle SIDES? Prayer. Fervent prayer-- and more. I do not apologise for this. I even said it in the write- up you refer to, --that of last week-- that there are mysterious, strange and solution- defying problems that can only be solved by God's intervention. But then -- if all you'll do is prayer-- why are you a doctor, you may ask? No Sir!! You must approach such problems from all 3 angles -- at the same time!! Use your drugs. Please use your drugs; treat the staph or whatever the label it is given. You see the real name of what you face is Childlessness; simple. Childlessness masquerading behind a perpetual diagnosis of Staph. By all means, get as much medical help as you have the opportunity to. Do not be a fool. But pray and use your mind also. For an instance of using your mind, why will you still be childless even after all the Staph has disappeared and your sperm count is okay with the motility? Yes, Staph in the prostate(SFA) or Expressed Prostatic Secretion(EPS) will destroy sperm cells causing low or no sperm count but your semen is now free. The swab culture is a contaminant.

Dear Doctor,
I have for years been diagnosed as having a scanty growth of Staphylococcus aureus. I have equally received several treatment from several hospitals to no avail or so I think. Some doctors have also told me to ignore the test result and remove my mind from it as it was not a problem per se. However, i have been married for over five years now without a child and in the circumstance; I am forced to think of all possible reasons so that solutions can be sought. Some of my lab investigations have shown a high percentage of inactive/dead semen in motility checks - 15% active, 65%sluggish, 20%dead, with a count of 48x10 to power6 cells/cm(3) to power 3! My SFA yielded no bacterial growth after 24hrs incubation @37degrees centigrade. But a swab culture yielded a scanty growth of Staphylococcus spp? After 48hrs incubation at 37degrees!
I am currently receiving treatment at LUTH ( Medilag Consult /Prenatal Diagnosis & treatment centre,) . I have paid heavily for all sorts of tests- cytoclines screening (historone, TNF-alpha, IL2, IL6, IL8, Thyrglobin);Fructase, acid phosphate, alkaline Phosphate; Testosterone, Inhibin B, Prolactin, FSH, LH,; Sperm AB, IgA, IgM,; PSA, ANA, ACA, CRP, etc. Most of the results show normal ranges.
After reading your response on Staph and HIV/AIDS in the Sun of Tuesday Feb. 22, 2005, I decided to write and ask for your opinion/advise on the above matter. Has Staph anything to do with my present childless condition? I will appreciate if you can assist me get out of this problem and enjoy my married life with children of my own.
Will appreciate your reply via mail

Dear DRV,
Please Stop! Please stop all those tests and running around to no avail and listen. Listen really carefully-- Very likely, you are faced with what I call a Peculiar Disease(PEDI) or a Spiritually Inflicted Disease Entity(SIDES). Proof? All the most hi-falutin tests medicaments and doctors in the whole world and yet --ALL TO NO AVAIL!!!. What to do? Simple. See a doctor/physician or practitioner like me who understands that " God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breathe of life and man became a living mind or soul" Genesis 2.7. Man is not body alone!!! Man is a spirit; resident in a body and equipped with a mind-- body, mind and spirit --problems can come from any of the 3 areas!!! You are looking for solutions where there are none. The problem is beyond your body. Maybe in your mind or mental space. Or more likely, spiritually inflicted. How to tackle SIDES? Prayer. Fervent prayer-- and more. I do not apologise for this. I even said it in the write- up you refer to, --that of last week-- that there are mysterious, strange and solution- defying problems that can only be solved by God's intervention. But then -- if all you'll do is prayer-- why are you a doctor, you may ask? No Sir!! You must approach such problems from all 3 angles -- at the same time!! Use your drugs. Please use your drugs; treat the staph or whatever the label it is given. You see the real name of what you face is Childlessness; simple. Childlessness masquerading behind a perpetual diagnosis of Staph. By all means, get as much medical help as you have the opportunity to. Do not be a fool. But pray and use your mind also. For an instance of using your mind, why will you still be childless even after all the Staph has disappeared and your sperm count is okay with the motility? Yes, Staph in the prostate(SFA) or Expressed Prostatic Secretion(EPS) will destroy sperm cells causing low or no sperm count but your semen is now free. The swab culture is a contaminant.

We're Both AS --Can We Marry?
2.We're Both AS --Can We Marry?
Dear Doctor,
I am in my early forties. I found and fell in love with a caring, beautiful lady in her early thirties whom I intend to marry. However,as a lab. scientist, she insists on running my genotype test since I didn't know mine before any tangible step is taken to formalize the union. She is an AS and my result is also AS.This medically puts a stop to my lofty dream of contracting a lasting union with my heart-throb. Is there no way out of this medical impediment as I would not want to lose this inestimable gem I want to marry? Please, advise me through this same medium. Bless you,
Friday Okagbue, Festac, Lagos
Dear Friday,
Your case is so typical of the condition-- pathetic and very sorry-- of lost humanity that you would almost weep when you consider the gargantuan dimensions of the decision you are about to make.
1. God in His infinite mercuy and as a Faithful Creator who has provided what you and I will eat in this world ever before we were born --provided all the 100,000 barrels of oil every day that Nigeria will need to use --and all the air all 6 billion of us humans will use for all our hundred or so years on earth. He has also --in every case --provided for us beyond our wildest dreams in the area of love --and all of us --almost all -- fall short of this great and infinite blessing of His
2. Now think and consider --if God prepared for you a family-- a dad and mum, all the food you'll need while here on planet earth, and so on and so forth, hadn't you better believe that He has also provided for you --for every last one of us --your lovemate, your sweetheart, your perfect fit heart--throb, your rib-bone and your one and only?
3. Not just that, God brings this gift of a person to meet you -- He causes; most effortlessly; both of you to meet in the most natural/normal of settings usually before you are 25. You may not recognise this person with your head but what happens all the time is that you recognise them with your heart. They are so special-- you want to be with them--it's a pain in the heart to even think of separation from them--every thing about you and them fit so perfectly it's almost unbelievable. Of course you love them --w ith every fibre of your being. You can't imagine not being with them. Both of you are best-friends and understand each other so much it seems you were made just for each other.
4. Then comes a but.... Maybe it's your mum dad or whoever who refuses to endorse them. Or it's the tribe or religion or the medicals or the ... whatever it is.But she's fat!! But he's white!! But he has tribal marks!! But she is from----. But my aunty doesn't like her. But she's AS and I'm AS. But, but but... Now comes the big decision do I bow to these pressures or marry this special person? Let me tell you today --it happens to everyone--whether you are close to God or you don't even believe in him; whether you pray or you curse whether you ar Christian, Muslim or pagan. God is faithful to everyone!!
5. I have a message for you and all humanity:; but especially today for all those of you out there that are not married yet: Make sure you marry that special person--marry them and them alone.Every other decision or person or advice is error and you'll regret it.That is the very first and unrecognised source of marital friction--people abandoning God's great and merciful provision and going their own ways or doing their own thing and getting into wrong marriages in the first instance. Of course they now must manage what they got and endure marriage--something they were meant to enjoy. Why? They missed God's messenger to their lives.
6. If you do not marry for love you miss your way for God is love! God manifests Himself to each of us his human creation by being faithful to bring to us this His special person --and He makes you know it. But we allow our foolishness, ignorance and the devil to deceive us from the way of true love. once you have found true love do not let anything steal it from you for after you miss your way and you now let go of this person you now begin to roam the wilderness of life looking for the person you were given but allowed to be stolen from your life because of your stupidity. You go on searching for 40 years what God gave you in just 40 days and when you conclude you search and marry whoever else it is you find that it really is not what God intended. This is the primary reason for marital disharmony--misfits in marriage!!!!
7. Now then -- for those who want to know more -- "how do I know if I have found him or her" or "how do I even find him or her?" or "Okay, I agree and I see my error but how do I remedy it now that I am married or before I do so"-- "isn't there a second chance and if there is please help me find it" send me a message on docmarrylove@yahoo.com and we'll be glad to sort you out-- for there are many factors/ways by which we are robbed but counsel that brings understanding will remedy this.
My dear friend --read your letter again--it's obvious you found her. Please marry her --and do so quick--you are in your early 40's, so you have been given a rare second chance which you will miss if you begin to dillydally at this point in time. Marry her now so we can prevent another negative marriage statistic!!! AS? SS? If God is truly Love as the Holy Book says and you marry for love forget that 'but' or obstacle--it's only a miracle in preparation. Hurry. Please keep me up to date on the plans. And don't forget to invite me --and The Sun -- to the marriage!
Cheers

Dexacortin Bad for Weight Gain
Weight Gain Medication Safe?
Dear Doctor,
I’m a regular reader of your health line. I really appreciate the way you tackle health problems. May God bless you real good. My problem is that as a girl of 25 yrs of age. I’m supposed to have all the necessary curves on the different parts of the body. Rather it is the reverse. A friend (nurse) prescribed dexacortin tabs for me which I’m presently taking. Doctor, the fact is that since I started taking these tabs, I feel better because it stimulates my appetite and I’m beginning to add weight. Dr. please I want you to tell me more about what you know of these meds, should I continue or discontinue with it, is there any adverse effect of it, please I want to know everything about it or if there is any other alternative to put me to the right shape I’ll love to know all. Thanks
WORRIED GIRL, CALABAR.
Dear Worried Girl,
Dexacortin is a very dangerous drug that should be available only by prescription and not to every Tom, Dick and Harry. It belongs to a special, distinguished class of drugs known and referred to as steroids and cortico-steroids. They are made in the gland above the kidneys called the adrenals and can have very bad side effects if mishandled or abused which, I'm afraid, is what you are doing. All the good effects you say you are seeing are false- very false. That is they are happening not because you are now getting fatter or shapelier but because you are now developing a drug induced condition triggered by the drug you are using called Cushing syndrome that causes the false fatness you are seeing hypertension and amenorrhea menses stops the face goes rounded false curves as if you put on true weight but a sign of disease which is characteristic of this disease; we call it moon facies (the face goes rounded like the moon). Please stop the drug at once (and never use drugs not prescribed by doctors any more, ever) or risk these further side effects burning, itching, dryness, irritation, pimple-like rashes, skin thinning, marks on the skin, boils, increased skin pigmentation and increased hair growth. Also you risk all forms of secondary infection occurring. Think twice.
Cheers
Drugs to gain weight?
Dear Doctor,
I am a regular reader of your column in The Sun paper (tabloid) and I came across this topic that you treated.
I am a victim of these drugs to gain weight, I used it some years ago and it was introduced to me by a friend who was also skinny as at that time that I was.
My problem now is that I have not been seeing my menses and I don’t know whether it has led to secondary infertility. Doctor please advice me for I am married for three years and no issue, no menses.
Is there any remedy or any drugs I can take to regain my menses and also to get pregnant? My husband is worried though I have told him of my involvement with the said drugs.
Please reply and advice me.
Worried Woman,
Kano.
Dear Worried Woman,
Your type of case is what we really like to help tackle to get results of pregnancy within the shortest possible time --so never give up hope; okay? Yes, the abuse of this drug can be the root cause of your infertility and lost menses.
Be that as it may--go now and see a very good doctor/gynecologist/reproductory endocrinologist-- the Teaching Hospital of the Bayero University or the Specialist Hospital will be your best bet--with your hubby of course and tell the doctor exactly what happened.
It's a great pity you used that drug the way you did. That's the bad news. The good news, of course, is that it has been found that half of the cases of infertility in our African couples are due to usually reversible cases of hormonal imbalance which, very likely, is the cause of your amenorrhea and infertility like we said that drug, when abused can cause.
The reproductory endocrinologist/gynecologist/doctor is what you need who will thoroughly investigate you by examination and laboratory investigations that must be thorough enough to include hormonal assays to detect what damage the abuse of the drugs have done and what is left undamaged. He will need to check your husband properly too.
Please do not sit at home and bemoan your fate but both of you should take the bull by the horns and take charge of your life and health and go together to see the gynecologist; okay? And you do not have to go overseas or come to Lagos or go to Abuja at the National Hospital for this. I'm glad to tell you Kano is big enough to give you the best professionals you need; okay?
Also, do not forget to ask God's help to get the best results.
Let me have feedback on phone or by e mail.
Cheers
Danger in Steroidal Drugs For Weight Gain
Dear Dr. Bibbi Oluranti,
I thank God for the knowledge and wisdom He gave you, and the way you utilize it wisely. I am a regular reader of your column. My problem started when I was desperate to add weight last (2) two years ago.
I went to many dealers (chemists). Finally, I was recommended Dexacortin which I used --two and half bottles-- and it worked. After 8 months, I realized that there are strange pimples, dryness, skin thinning and irritation on my face and body. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed some drugs for me but I still noticed small amount of pimples and skin thinning while I weigh 80kg as of this month. Please doctor, help me for I have no other person to complain to; you are God's gift-- I believe your solution is final--I have the faith.
Thanks
F.J, Owerri; Imo
Dear F J
Like all the above has said it is true that the drug Dexacortin and other steroids can be abused in the manner you did. One of the commonest reasons why people do this is because they believe it will help them gain weight.--and it does!! Sportsmen abuse steroids because they are looking for stamina and increased muscle mass. But this is diseased weight--not normal at all.
The way to get rid of the evil side effects of the drug is to stop early and gradually. Where gradual withdrawal --using less and less amounts per time--is not possible or has not been done, the only thing is to give the body time to adjust and come back to its former balance--may take up to a year or more. Side effects like lowered sperm production in men and reduced size of testis--testicular atrophy-- and can be reversed while baldness and gynecomastia-- development of breast --cannot be reversed in men. In women, side effects include virilisation--making the woman more like a man-- no menses, more developed clitoris deepening voice decreased breast size and so on. Of course, the other side effects you mentioned must not be forgotten-- thinning hair, and so on. Again the more prolonged the use, the greater the likelihood that the results will become irreversible; so let me warn anyone abusing steroids (or any drugs for that matter) again--stop it-- IT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
One other lesson we must not forget to teach is --beware self medication; beware chemists, nurses and other paramedics’ (not specifically mentioned in these letters) treatment -- always insist on seeing a doctor.
You can call the help lines and ask for help to resolve lingering side effects
Cheers

Cure Staphylococcus Permanently
"About to Commit Suicide!!"
Dear Dr,
Could you please convince me you cure Staphylococcus? Any stories about people you cured?
Jana Jebba; Jos
Dear Jana,
I'll tell you three stories. First we'll call "About to Commit Suicide!!"
Around July/August 2003, a very successful but unmarried business man of 32 years of age wanted to commit suicide but decided to just come see me first before he would kill himself. The problem, you would have guessed right, was Staphylococcus. Ten years of torment was enough, he had decided. He had been to different hospitals/doctors and had spent a ton of money on the ailment. I was the seventh doctor he was seeing. Herbal practitioners also had been consulted -all to no avail. He had refused to consider thinking about marriage because of this ailment. He had deliberately neglected and let go of a relationship he really cherished but felt he could not, in all good conscience, continue when he knew he had this ailment that had seemingly defied a cure. He was tired and despairing of life — he had seriously considered suicide. At 32 he had no woman and was, frankly, not interested at all. He had began building his own house in Lagos and it was a beauty to behold, judging by the photos he showed me. I asked him how he thought a house was complete without a woman but he was disinterested in that consideration– all he sought was to get well– and he was afraid he was not going to. Apart from Staphylococcus — or along with it, he also complained that his manhood was too small!!! And that, I believe, was contributory to his refusal to marry or even consider it!!! Like I said, despite the fact that God blessed him greatly, he was ready to give it all up and just kill himself — so terrible and wicked ly persisting were his Staph woes — itching, movement/ funny feelings in the organ, weak erection, discharge from the penis during urination, frequency in urination, waist and back pain and ache etc, etc all beset him terribly. The worst was that after treatment in all the places he had been to for help — after sometimes feeling well, he discovered the evil symptoms would come back!!! He was in tears as he narrated his woes, imploring me seriously to help him if I could. I assured him he was going to get well and encouraged him to get out of his depressive state of mind. We finally started treatment after doing extensive tests on him and spending substantial time interviewing him to get to know what was the source of the problem and what clues we could find to help with his treatment and once-for all cure. Once we began treatment I must say I discovered in him a star patient!!. He came for his injections/shots regularly, kept review and follow-up appointments with the doctor very religiously, always calling to confirm his appointments and paid up promptly and joyfully because he acknowledged the fact that we were giving him very high value for what he was paying. Needless to say, by October ending that year, he had become so well that he had returned to his lost love and by December I met her and I was discussing wedding plans with him!! No more return or recrudescence of the symptoms or complaints — everything gone and gone forever. In fact, exactly about 15 months after we saw him last, he came again to see us. What for? He brought his cousin — a lady — for some other complaints. When I inquired from him about all his former woes, he assured me he never saw anything like those challenges again ever since he had seen me last!!! No wonder he was ready to marry that fast!!!

Dear Dr,
Could you please convince me you cure Staphylococcus? Any stories about people you cured?

Dear Jana,
I'll tell you three stories. First we'll call "About to Commit Suicide!!"
Around July/August 2003, a very successful but unmarried business man of 32 years of age wanted to commit suicide but decided to just come see me first before he would kill himself. The problem, you would have guessed right, was Staphylococcus. Ten years of torment was enough, he had decided. He had been to different hospitals/doctors and had spent a ton of money on the ailment. I was the seventh doctor he was seeing. Herbal practitioners also had been consulted -all to no avail. He had refused to consider thinking about marriage because of this ailment. He had deliberately neglected and let go of a relationship he really cherished but felt he could not, in all good conscience, continue when he knew he had this ailment that had seemingly defied a cure. He was tired and despairing of life — he had seriously considered suicide. At 32 he had no woman and was, frankly, not interested at all. He had began building his own house in Lagos and it was a beauty to behold, judging by the photos he showed me. I asked him how he thought a house was complete without a woman but he was disinterested in that consideration– all he sought was to get well– and he was afraid he was not going to. Apart from Staphylococcus — or along with it, he also complained that his manhood was too small!!! And that, I believe, was contributory to his refusal to marry or even consider it!!! Like I said, despite the fact that God blessed him greatly, he was ready to give it all up and just kill himself — so terrible and wicked ly persisting were his Staph woes — itching, movement/ funny feelings in the organ, weak erection, discharge from the penis during urination, frequency in urination, waist and back pain and ache etc, etc all beset him terribly. The worst was that after treatment in all the places he had been to for help — after sometimes feeling well, he discovered the evil symptoms would come back!!! He was in tears as he narrated his woes, imploring me seriously to help him if I could. I assured him he was going to get well and encouraged him to get out of his depressive state of mind. We finally started treatment after doing extensive tests on him and spending substantial time interviewing him to get to know what was the source of the problem and what clues we could find to help with his treatment and once-for all cure. Once we began treatment I must say I discovered in him a star patient!!. He came for his injections/shots regularly, kept review and follow-up appointments with the doctor very religiously, always calling to confirm his appointments and paid up promptly and joyfully because he acknowledged the fact that we were giving him very high value for what he was paying. Needless to say, by October ending that year, he had become so well that he had returned to his lost love and by December I met her and I was discussing wedding plans with him!! No more return or recrudescence of the symptoms or complaints — everything gone and gone forever. In fact, exactly about 15 months after we saw him last, he came again to see us. What for? He brought his cousin — a lady — for some other complaints. When I inquired from him about all his former woes, he assured me he never saw anything like those challenges again ever since he had seen me last!!! No wonder he was ready to marry that fast!!! To God’s glory, we cured him –like we will also permanently cure you when you come over to see us.
