Dr. Abdullah Shaikh

I hope your recovery from chickenpox is progressing well. In general, the decision to resume table tennis after recovery depends on a few factors:
complete recovery:
ensure you have fully recovered from chickenpox. Returning to physical activities too soon can delay healing and increase the risk of complications.
Medical clearance:
obtain medical clearance from your doctor before resuming intense physical activities like table tennis. They can assess your overall health and guide...more

Pimples are a common skin condition caused by various factors, such as clogged pores or follicles. They are not directly related to syphilis, although syphilis can cause a rash that may resemble pimples in its secondary stage. If you have concerns about your sexual health or suspect you may have an sti, it is recommended to get yourself tested for std panel.

My girlfriend was diagnosed with chicken pox 6 months back and got recovered. I read somewhere that even after recovery, the virus remains in inactive state and may reactivate later (shingles or any other side effects). Will any sort of physical intimacy cause this virus to spread, just a concern if there is any risk. Appreciate guidance on this, thanks a lot in advance.

General Physician•Noida

Hi,
understand your concern. Shingles/chicken pox are contagious. However, the zoster virus is contagious only in its active stage. It is non- contagious in dormant stage. Almost every person carries it whoever is infected in their life time. It stays dormant and reactivates at times. Thats the time when it is contagious. Else do not worry, it doesnot harm in anyway.
Hope this is clear. For further details, please connect online/in-person.

It's important for your husband to follow the advice of his healthcare provider, as they have access to his complete medical history and can provide personalized recommendations.
Positive results for tests like vdrl (venereal disease research laboratory) and tpha (treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) may indicate exposure to syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection. However, it's crucial to interpret these results in the context of the individual's overall health, medical history, an...more
