  1. Detection of Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS):

    • ABS can often be detected during a prenatal ultrasound, particularly in the second trimester.
    • Ultrasound can show fibrous bands in the amniotic sac that may entangle fetal parts.
  2. Factors Influencing Detection:

    • Timing: Anomaly scans at 18-22 weeks are more likely to identify ABS.
    • Severity and Location: Bands causing visible deformities or restricted movement are easier to detect.
    • Ultrasound Quality: High-resolution imaging and experienced sonographers enhance detection.
  3. Next Steps:

    • If ABS is suspected, further monitoring and consultation with a maternal-fetal medicine expert may be advised.
    • Discuss any concerns or risk factors with your obstetrician for appropriate screening and care.

I'm curious if there's any medication for women that can help enhance stamina and sustain performance when being intimate, maybe something to take an hour before. Also, is it advisable or safe to engage in intimacy four times a day, and are there specific drugs for that? I've been wondering about this and thought I'd ask.

For improving sexual stamina, some women may benefit from **l-arginine** supplements, which can enhance blood flow, or **ginseng** for increased energy. However, it's important to consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication or supplement, as individual needs and health conditions vary. Regular communication with a partner and relaxation techniques also play an important role in improving intimacy.

I'm taking primolut N to delay my periods because of a work emergency. My period was originally supposed to start around the 23rd or 24th of September. Today is the 22nd, and I'm on my second day with primolut N, but I'm noticing a light white-pinkish discharge. Is this normal? Should I keep taking primolut N? I really can't afford to get my period right now because it's usually very heavy.

It's normal to experience some spotting or discharge while taking this medication, especially in the initial days, as it can affect the lining of your uterus.If the discharge becomes heavier, or you experience any unusual symptoms like severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding then consult the doctor
