Hello XXXX,

In my opinion you are over thinking the matter. Firstly you are not infected with any STDs. Secondly none of the infections spread so trivially.

Relax your mind and do not worry.

Hello XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for your follow up.

First of all my best wishes for your medical check up.

I reassure you fully that you are totally free from all STDs or any other illness. Do not think even for a second regarding the last year's event. It is a past which has no effect presently.

Just be prepared for a grand party after the successful clearance of the check up.

Waiting for the party ....

All the best.

Dr they only did CBC blood test and ESRt concern is in ESR does it detect fibroid?

Answered by Dr. Sanjay Kumar Kanodia (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
In my view all your reports should come normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello young lady,

As you are quite healthy so your Complete blood counts as well as ESR should come normal. There is no need to be worried. ESR is raised only in chronic long standing diseases. Even if ESR is raised then there are thousands of reason for the same.

In my view all your reports should come normal. All the best.

Answered by Dr. Sanjay Kumar Kanodia (21 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
It doesn't at all means cancer in any of the way.

Detailed Answer:
Hello young lady,

It doesn't at all means cancer in any of the way. Raised ESR is not at all a sign of cancer directly. Relax your mind from the same. My best wishes to you.

All the best.
