I'm 7 weeks pregnant and dealing with a lot of acidity. I'm wondering if it's safe to take Gelusil syrup for this. Can you advise?

Based on your blood test report: _High PDW (18.9 fl), MPV, and PLCR indicate:_ 1. _Platelet size variation_: High PDW suggests a larger variation in platelet size, which can be seen in conditions like thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis. 2. _Larger platelets_: Elevated MPV indicates larger-than-average platelets, which can be associated with conditions like thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative disorders, or inflammation. 3. _Increased platelet activation_: High PLCR suggests increased platelet activation, which can be seen in conditions like thrombotic disorders, inflammation, or infection. _Reason for concern:_ While these results are abnormal, they don't necessarily indicate a serious underlying condition. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any potential health issues.

Who is at risk for gestational diabetes?

Question

I'm looking at my wife's ultrasound report of her lower abdomen, and I'm a bit concerned. It mentions that both her ovaries are showing a PCO pattern. Can you help me understand what this means? Also, it says there's no abnormal solid or cystic lesion seen, and both RO and LO measure 33x18mm. Should I be worried about any of this? What does the measurement indicate?
