Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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

  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'm 35 with a 5-year-old kid and have been dealing with severe stomach pain during my periods. Multiple doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis it was 8.3 mm in the last scan and now 8 mm. They recommended surgery, but I'm hoping to treat it with medicine. Right now, I'm taking Dinogest 2mg daily. Can endometriosis this size be cured with meds, and how long might it take to see improvement?

Severe stomach pain during periods, especially if linked to a diagnosis of endometriosis, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to pain management and potentially further investigation into the condition. While a slight decrease in the lesion size (8.3mm to 8mm) might be considered a minor change, it's not necessarily indicative of a positive or negative trend and warrants further evaluation.
