Health Query

My mother is 50 years old and was diagnosed with hepatitis e the last year. She was prescribed hepa merz by her doctor. Thankfully her symptoms were relieved. But now again for the past month she is facing severe joint and leg pain. She took hepa merz and it relieved her pain. But today, she is facing severe pain in legs and she took 2 doses of hepa merz today but still facing pain. Please help.

Dear lybrate-user, herpa merz is medication for gastro intestinal problems which is not likely to help with pain
you will need to take some anti inflammatory for pain
pain in the leg could be due to multiple problems. Please consult a doctor in person for the same.

Hepatitis E is a virus that can infect the liver. Unlike other forms of hepatitis, the hepatitis E virus doesn't lead to long-term illness or serious liver damage. Most people get well within a few months. If you experience pain in R.side of abdomen under the rib cage ,then it can be some other liver problem as it is very unlikely that you would get infected more than once with the hepatitis E virus..The recurrence of the disease is never fatal.
People usually get hepatitis E by drinking wat...more

Since you are in ahmedabad. Few suggestions.
1) continue treatment of hep b 2) fibroscan can help you get the assessment of liver stiffness in case you don't have ascites on usg.
3) liver transplant is an option when liver decompensates but you need to enroll early on as waiting period is long in most centres 4) get consultation from Dr. sanjay rajput. He is expert gastro in ahmedabad.

Doctor I am suffering from hiv. And I am taking viraday tablet once a day from last 9 years. My viral load is undetectable. Cd4 count is 454. Is there any other medications do I need to continue along with this? Also how long will it take for me to enter to aids stage.

Dr. Hemant Kumar95%(243 ratings)

HIV Specialist•Ghaziabad

Hello sir. Good to know that your hiv is under control. You will need to continue to take art as long as you live, as of now. In future if any cure is found that will be a game changer. There are better options than viraday now. As long as your vl is undetectable and cd4 is in the normal range the ois remain under check and also non oi conditions. However aids has 4 stages depending upon s/s. It will be better if you consult an hiv Dr. of your choice to know more details, please. Thanks.

Hi,
from the details provided by you, I understand that you have cirrhosis of liver with chronic hepatitis b infection as the cause.
You do not seem to have developed complications of portal hypertension viz. Gi bleed (blood in vomitus or stools), ascites (collection of fluid/water in stomach) or hepatic encephalopathy (drowsiness, transient loss of consciousness) etc.
You need to continue with anti-viral medications for hepatitis b and cardivas along with regular screening and follo...more

Asked for male, 32 years old from Kolkata

Hello sir I had sex with a sex worker in massage parlour with protection on but now I am afraid of hiv transmission and infections since some of the journals said hiv can pass through condoms as well and it's not effective and protective in nature .kindly help me what to do. I want to ask can I still contract hiv even if I use condom from the very beginning of sex? Thank you.

Dr. Pulak Mukherjee91%(13393 ratings)

Homeopathy Doctor•Hooghly

Well yes new studies have shown that condom doesn't protect against hiv, soo if the person is hiv positive then you have a higher risk of having hiv infection, do test after 90 days ,visit a virologist that will be better for u, don't be anxious there is treatment available now so nothing to worry about it,

Hiv cannot live outside the body for more than a few minutes even in optimum conditions.
Once blood is dried ,even if it becomes wet again ,hiv will not become infectious again.
