Brief Answer:
Infection can cause high esr.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Tuberculosis, infection, anemia, autoimmune disease, paraprotienemia, malignancies all can lead to high esr.
You have history of infection. So it may be the cause of your high esr.
No need to worry. Your esr is slightly high. Just be relaxed. Just repeat your esr after one month. Mostly it will come back to normal.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.

Brief Answer:
From your reports it can not be said.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your all reports.
Your reports of complete blood count, peripheral smear examination, liver function test, kidney function test, lipid profile, thyroid function test all are normal. No need to worry.

From this reports we can not say about pregnancy.

If you are devorsed and using tools then there is no chance of pregnancy.

If you have any unsafe sex and if you think there is chance of pregnancy or if you have amenorrhoea then you should go for pregnancy test.

Other wise no need to worry. Just be relaxed.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
