View allMy wife is 33 weeks pregnant and her placenta is in the upper segment, grade 2. Could this be a problem? I'm really looking for some advice.
Monitor her closely for any signs of bleeding or other complications. It is recommended to avoid activities that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as heavy lifting or sexual intercourse. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to monitor the mother and baby closely. In case of any bleeding, abdominal pain, or contractions, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.

My mom has been bleeding non-stop for the past 8 days and the doctor prescribed Ovral L and methergin. Her sonography report says she has an anteverted bulky uterus measuring 12.48.36.1cm with 14.7mm endometrial thickness. There's also a 4.03.7cm intramural hypoechoic lesion and multiple small follicles in both ovaries. Is surgery the only option or can this be managed with medication?
Endometrial biopsy required. After that treatment can be decided.

Can you have PCOS but still have regular periods? My ultrasound just mentioned I have bilateral polycystic ovaries, not PCOS or PCOD. What does that mean?
Bilateral polycystic ovaries, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal condition that affects the ovaries. It occurs when the ovaries produce too many androgens, which are hormones that prevent follicles from maturing and releasing eggs. This results in the ovaries becoming enlarged and containing many small cysts. PCOS is a common condition that affects women of reproductive age. Symptoms include: Irregular or missed periods Excess hair growth Acne Weight gain Darkening of the skin Skin tags Thinning hair
