I got married to my relative. Can I have a second baby?
Hi doctor,
I got married to my relative and we have the same blood group. My first baby is quite healthy and fine without any problems. Now, we are planning for a second baby. We did not check about the Rh factor yet and we are afraid that any problem might come in the second pregnancy. Should I worry about having a second baby? Is there any test to confirm the same? Please guide us.

What could cause blood and pain while passing stool?
Hello doctor,
When I go to the bathroom for poop, the blood came out with my stool and it became painful for me to pass the stool. After stool, I could not sit down properly. It hurts for a long time. My second problem is that I have an epidemic cyst in my testes. Sometimes I feel pain in that.

Can I get infected with infectious mononucleosis if I kiss my partner who is infected with it?
Hello doctor,
My partner has kissing disease, and her symptoms include a high fever, neck pain, and other symptoms. She is in the hospital now, resting, and I wonder when I can be with her without having a fear of acquiring this infection. I have read that the virus will remain in her mouth for at least six months. Is this correct? Please advice.

How long should my mom take anticoagulants for DVT?
Hello doctor,
My mother is suffering from DVT which was diagnosed just yesterday. I want a second opinion on her treatment and Doppler results. The doctor said that there is no need to admit her in the hospital and he prescribed Rivaroxaban 15 mg twice daily for 21 days along with Ibuprofen 400 mg. Also, injection Enoxaparin Sodium was given. Esomeprazole was given to prevent upset stomach and microfibre cloth stocking was given to wear from morning until bedtime.
I am worried about the amount of clots in her leg. Are the treatment and medications given optimum? How long will she have to take anticoagulant medication? Is she safe from pulmonary embolism now that the treatment has started? How much walk is recommended?
She is also diabetic and hypertensive and takes Glycophage 750 mg and Concor2.5.
