How does my O-negative blood group help in emergency situations?

Hello doctor,

I recently found out that my blood type is O-negative. I have heard that this blood type is considered a 'universal donor.' Can you explain what that means and how my blood type can be beneficial in emergency situations?

Thank you.

What could be the reason for a delay in periods despite negative home pregnancy test results?

Hello doctor,

My periods were supposed to start between these days. Perhaps I will get them today. However, the chances were most probably for yesterday and the days before. Unfortunately, I did not. I checked with the strip, and the home pregnancy test is negative. Please provide your opinion.

Thank you.

What could cause severe abdominal pain, vomiting, joint pain, and extreme tiredness in a 35-year-old patient?

Hello doctor,

My husband is 35 years old and has severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and joint pain, and he is feeling very tired too. He has had this for two days, and the symptoms are not reducing even after taking medicines for fever and vomiting. Is this anything serious? Will he require hospitalization? Before that, can I get him tested for any specific infections? Please, we need your opinion and suggestions regarding this. Can these symptoms be treated?

Thank you.

What could cause delayed periods and an increase in white discharge?

Hi doctor,

My periods are late. I noticed a little spotting, and I have a lot of white discharge. I had a similar experience earlier but got my period 40 days later. I had unprotected sex 10 days before my expected date and found the spotting 11 to 12 days later. Please help.

Thank you.
