Hormonal Imbalance and D&C:
- Dilation and Curettage (D&C) generally does not cause hormonal imbalances. It involves the uterus lining, not hormone-producing glands.
-
Post-Procedure Effects:
- Temporary menstrual changes or spotting may occur but are usually short-lived.
-
When to Consult a Doctor:
- If persistent menstrual irregularities or symptoms suggestive of hormonal imbalance occur, consult your gynecologist.
Key Points:
- D&C typically does not cause lasting hormonal imbalance.
- Temporary changes post-procedure are common.
- Persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

View allI've just had an ultrasound, and it shows a dominant follicle measuring 18 mm in my right ovary. I'm really worried about whether this is something serious. Is there a risk I should be aware of? What steps can I take to manage or recover from this?
A dominant follicle measuring 18mm in your right ovary is a normal finding, especially if you're in your menstrual cycle's follicular phase . This typically occurs around day 7-10 of a 28-day cycle. The dominant follicle is the largest follicle that will release an egg during ovulation. Having a dominant follicle doesn't necessarily indicate a risk. However, it's essential to monitor its growth and development to ensure it ruptures and releases an egg. If the follicle doesn't rupture, it may lead to issues like ovulation disorders or cyst formation. To support follicular growth and ovulation: - *Maintain a healthy lifestyle*: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress. - *Follicular monitoring*: Schedule regular ultrasound scans to track the dominant follicle's growth and development. - *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your scan results and any concerns with your gynecologist or fertility specialist. They may recommend additional tests or treatments to support ovulation and fertility.

I've taken misoprostol today at 11 amtwo tablets of 200 mg eachbut there's no bleeding yet. Then, I took another two tablets around 7 pm. How long should I expect to wait before the bleeding starts? I'm getting a bit worried and would really appreciate some advice on what's normal in this situation.
After taking misoprostol, bleeding typically starts within 1-4 hours, but it can take up to 24 hours; since you took the second dose at 7 pm, you may experience bleeding within the next 12-24 hours; however, if you haven't bled or experienced severe symptoms like heavy bleeding, severe pain, or fever, consult your gynaecologist

I'm about 6 weeks pregnant and noticed my hCG levels only increased from 4300 to 4500 over 4 days. I'm really worried that this might not be a good sign for the pregnancy's viability. Do you think taking hCG injections could help increase these levels more quickly?
