Metal cut after tetanus vaccine: Need another dose?

Patient's Query

if i got a tetanus vaccine two months back and i got a metal cut now from shaving razors should i get a vaccine, to be more precise, I got the cut on my right hand's thumb

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

You should be okay if your te­tanus shot was recent. The te­tanus bacteria enters through cuts like­ shaving nicks. Be alert for muscle stiffne­ss or trouble swallowing. Those could signal tetanus, so se­e a doctor immediately. But if you don't have­ issues, keep the­ wound clean and watch for infection signs. There­'s no need to panic with a current te­tanus vaccination.

I want complete clarity on this . I had an intercourse on oct 24 which includes no vaginal penetration no ejaculation. it only includes anal penetration and rubbing around anal region for about 10 sec. there were bleedings on Nov 8th dec 6th Jan 3rd and Feb 2nd .These bleeding seemed to be regular flow and last for 3 to 5 days . also did a urine pregnancy test on Dec 30 with evening urine (might be diluted) showed clear negative. later on Jan 29 went to a clinic and did ultrasound scan and they said no pregnancy. Is there any sort of possibility of pregnancy in this . because i have seen cases on Google where a women had regular periods and delivered a baby unknowingly about her pregnancy until labour. my question is even some cases exist where a scan can't find pregnancy. is that possible at all at time after 13 weeks of intercourse. can I beleive the results for sure or do I need any further tests. Please give clarity on this. I have been thinking a lot from 3 months . I need peace.

Hi doctor. My partner and I had only outercourse on 24th may. No intercourse. No penetration. Only dry humping with my boyfriend constantly wearing his tight boxers. Out of fear I took an ipill on 26th may (within 48 hours). I had a bleeding from 3rd june to 8th june (Light bleeding, like periods). Was it withdrawal bleeding, and if so, then am I safe from pregnancy. My last periods was on 17th May, so when may I expect my next periods, Dr.? I am really worried, I need your professional guidance and an assurance if possible, Dr.

Female | 24

Let me assure you that the chances of pregnancy from outercourse with protection like tight boxers are incredibly low. The bleeding you experienced from 3rd to 8th June may likely be withdrawal bleeding from the emergency contraceptive pill you took, which is a common side effect. Given that your last period was on 17th May, your cycle might be a bit irregular this month due to the emergency pill. You can expect your next period within the next few weeks. If you don't get it by then, a simple home pregnancy test can provide further reassurance.

I am not having my periods from 3 months

Female | 13

It is normal for girls to not have­ their period some time­s. The big reason is often change­s in hormones. Stress, losing or gaining weight fast, and too much e­xercise can all cause misse­d periods. Living a healthy life and not be­ing stressed can help. If you are­ worried, it is good to talk to someone you trust, like­ a parent or the nurse at school.

She is having too much facial hair and body hair.. she's 15 but she doesn't have even a little breasts growth..but her thighs and hips are really fat.

Female | 15

Excessive hair growth on face and body can be a symptom of hormonal imbalances as in the case of PCOS. Pubertal development may also be delayed in this condition. You should see a gynecologist or an endocrinologist for further evaluation and management of PCOS.
