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.
-
Placental Position:
- Placental location (anterior, posterior, fundal, etc.) varies naturally among pregnancies.
- It is influenced by factors related to implantation and uterine anatomy.
-
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.

View allI've noticed that my period has been longer than usual, lasting up to 10 days, and I took a pregnancy test but it came back negative. Then, I experienced very light bleeding mixed with a watery discharge for a couple of days. Lately, I've been dealing with a pretty bad pain on my right side and it's affecting my back too. I'm really concerned and would love to get some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?
Get a beta HCG done and if it is negative get a hormonal profile done

I'm having trouble with getting wet during intimacy. Even when I'm in the mood, I just don't seem to produce natural lubricant. What can I do to help my body produce it naturally? I love being with my partner, so it's really frustrating. Also, I've noticed some wart-like things around my vaginal area. Any advice on how to treat these?
It sounds like you're experiencing dryness, which can happen for various reasons, including hormonal changes or stress. You might benefit from using a water-based lubricant to enhance comfort. For the warts, it's important to get them checked by a healthcare provider, as they may be caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and treatment options are available. Please consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

My mother is 51 years old and her scan report shows her uterus is bulky, measuring 13.1 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm. There are multiple fibroids in the posterior wall, with the largest one being 4.6 x 4.4 cm. She also has kidney stones and high blood pressure. Does she need surgery for the fibroids given her other health issues?
It's difficult to provide a definitive answer without a full medical evaluation and discussion with her doctor. However, in general, a 51-year-old woman with a bulky uterus (13.1 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm) and multiple fibroids, including one measuring 4.6 x 4.4 cm, may not need surgery for the fibroids if the symptoms are mild and manageable, and if her other health issues (kidney stones and high blood pressure) are well-controlled. However, if she experiences significant symptoms, such as heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure, or if the fibroids are causing complications with her other health issues, then surgery, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, might be considered
