Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am rubella IgG positive, 118.90 IU/mL, and cytomegalovirus positive, 8.87 IU/mL. I want to know:

What does it mean?
Can I plan to get pregnant now?

Kindly suggest.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

It means that you are either immune, vaccinated, or have had a recent infection. To rule out a recent infection, you have to repeat the titer after one week. If it does not increase, you can plan for pregnancy.

I hope this helps.

Feel free to ask for more information.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

What is the difference between TORCH and the titer test?

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The TORCH test is used to rule out a viral infection during pregnancy.

TORCH means toxoplasmosis, other infections (like syphilis, varicella-zoster, parvovirus B19, HIV), rubella, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV).

But a titer is used to see the antibody levels.

I hope this was useful.

Feel free to ask for more information.

Thanks and regards.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

Do I need to take any medication?

My husband's sperm count is 60 million/ml, and motility is 50 percent. Around 80 percent is in regular shape. Does he need to take any medicine?

Please let me know.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There is no need for any medications, but you can take Folic acid, and your husband can take Coenzyme Q.

Thank you.
