Hi
hi
How can I help you?
i happen to speak to a lady doc yesterday night
for my wife
Ok
she had severe stomach ache and giddiness
got her admitted at 2am today morning
Ok
however there are some tests that are done
Ok
and the initial findings state that there is an increase of WBC
close to 15ooo
Ok
which states that there is an infection in the blood
there is also another test
Ok
iam not able to recollect the name
but the normal count for a person should be
where as for my wife its at 18
Do you mean ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)?
i guess so
ok
the doc said it determines the intensity of the infection
Right.
he also said that the ultrasound initial report
shows that there is an hemaroage in the ovary
what does this mean
and how complicated it this
and what is the solution
May I know the location of her abdomen pain?
Is it on the left side or right side?
however he is yet to confirm this to me thru reports
Above or below the umbilicus?
lower abdomen
Right or left side?
a bit lower i suppose
left
is what she is saying
Ok
but her stomach has blotted
and has become hard
Has she passed stools?
not really, 99%, passed stool normal, yesterday night 3 times, with pain
And whether or not any X-ray of abdomen was done?
no, only ultrasound
Ok
Let me brief you.
an x XXXXXXX of the shoulder was taken
Ok
since she has pain in her shoulder as well
Presence of leucocytosis (increased WBC count)suggest infection.
ok
hemorrhage in the ovaries suggest a rupture ovarian follicle.
what is that
is this complicated
it is necessary to know whether or not this rupture is limited to the ovary or gone into the peritoneum.
The scan reports and preferably an X-ray abdomen can tell us more about that.
However the doctor who has examined her will be the right person to take this decision.
Rupture ovaries is a bit complicated and usually need surgery.
what is it is, could u let me know the complication....is it something critical
The initial treatment would be giving her IV fluids and treating infection with IV antibiotics
that is what they are doing now
I might be able to make you understand this problem better on a phone call. Can I call you now to discuss about it?
yes sure
May I know your phone number?
0000
Hope I have clarified the issues with you.
Thanks for consulting me.
Bye for now.
