Question 1

My wife is 7 months pregnant and she started vomiting, but then she noticed there was some blood mixed in. Should we be worried about this? Is it a serious issue or something normal during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Wound Healing and Fluid Discharge

_Current Status_

1. _90% healed_: The wound has made significant progress in healing.
2. _Small raw area remaining_: A fingertip-sized area remains raw and discharging fluid.

_Fluid Discharge_

1. _Serous discharge_: The clear, watery liquid is likely serous discharge, which can be a normal part of the healing process.
2. _Delayed healing_: The persistent discharge might be hindering the healing process.

_Recommendations_

1. _Continue dressing and antibiotic treatment_: Maintain regular dressing changes and antibiotic treatment as prescribed by Dr. Prashanth BN.
2. _Add a topical agent_: Consider adding a topical agent like silver sulfadiazine or povidone-iodine to help control the discharge and promote healing.
3. _Elevate the affected leg_: Whenever possible, elevate the affected leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling and promote healing.
4. _Monitor for infection_: Keep an eye on the wound's appearance, smell, and overall condition. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, seek medical attention immediately.

Question 2

I've missed my periods for the last 3 months, and last month I only had some small brown clots or discharge that lasted about 3-4 days. My cycle has always been kind of irregular, and I remember something similar happened a couple of years ago. Back then, my doctor gave me Ergest LD, and I got my period after 5 days. Could something different be causing this now, and should I be really worried about it?

consult gynecologist

Question 3

My mom needs open abdominal surgery to remove fibroids but our insurance only covers a general 6-bed ward in a well-known Mumbai hospital. Would she be better off staying there or going for a twin-sharing room in a smaller hospital? I'm worried about her comfort and recovery.

Accepted Answer

I can understand your concern. With your health policy documents comes a document in which all the affiliated hospital names are listed. Whichever you find the best, you can go there and get it operated. Any gynecologist would be able to perform this surgery. Therefore you have to consult a gynecologist of your choice and a hospital of your choice as per your insurance and then consult there.

I found out I have a large cyst in my right iliac fossa measuring 73mm x 94mm x 95mm with a thin septa inside. The report says the right ovary isn't visible separately. Should I go for laparoscopy or open surgery to treat this? What are the pros and cons of each option?
