Does posterior placenta mean boy?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

No, the position of placenta doesn't determine gender of a baby.

Consult a Obstetrician and Gynaecologist

  1. Correlation Between Placental Position and Baby's Gender:

    • There is no scientifically proven correlation between having a posterior placenta and the baby's gender being male.
    • The baby's gender is determined by chromosomes at conception.
  2. Placental Position:

    • Placental location (anterior, posterior, fundal, etc.) varies naturally among pregnancies.
    • It is influenced by factors related to implantation and uterine anatomy.
  3. Ultrasound and Gender Prediction:

    • Ultrasound can identify placental position but cannot predict gender based on it.

Recommendation:

  • If you have concerns about your pregnancy or placental position, consult your healthcare provider for personalized information and reassurance.

I have polycystic ovaries and found out 4 years ago through an ultrasound that my right ovary has a 1.5cm cyst. My right ovary measures 3.1cm x 3.8cm and my left is 2.4cm x 3.1cm. Are these sizes bigger than normal? What's the usual size for ovaries? I really want to know if these cysts can affect pregnancy and how to manage them without surgery or laser treatment. I'm 24, 147cm tall, and weigh 73kg. I also have a history of thyroid issues and currently take Thyroorm 88mcg and Metatime 500mg. Can you help me understand my condition better and suggest natural ways to recover? I've attached my recent prescription for reference.

I've got this red, pimple-like bump on my clitoris, and it's really itchy and irritating. I'm kind of worried about what it could be. Can you tell me what's going on?

I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance. I was diagnosed with a cyst in my right ovary and was prescribed Regestrone for five days, which brought on my period. The doctor also advised me to start taking Diane 35 on the fourth day, which I've been taking regularly. I've only two more tablets left from my pack. I did have unprotected sex during the first week of starting the pill, but there was no ejaculation inside. Should I be concerned about the possibility of pregnancy?

The chances of pregnancy are slim. You shouldn't worry about it since you said there was no ejaculation inside. Kindly wait for your periods or consult a gynaecologist in person for further evaluation and management.
