View allMy aunty has been diagnosed with adenomyosis and an umbilical hernia. Can you check her report and advise if she needs surgery or if injections and tablets would be enough to help her condition?
It's impossible to give a definitive answer about whether your aunt needs surgery without reviewing her specific medical reports and having a consultation with a doctor. However, I can provide general information about adenomyosis and umbilical hernias, which may help her understand the decision-making process.

My wife is in her 10th week of pregnancy and has been prescribed ONDEM MD 4 to help with nausea and vomiting. The instructions are to take it twice a day, but we're a bit worried if it's safe to use on a daily basis. Also, one evening she unintentionally took a double dose. Should we be concerned about any side effects from that? Really appreciate any insights you can share.
Ondem MD 4, containing ondansetron, is generally considered safe for pregnant women to manage nausea and vomiting, but should be used under medical supervision; taking a double dose by mistake may cause side effects like headaches, dizziness, or constipation, but these are usually mild and temporary
